Mark The Exhibitions at Pace is a highly-anticipated historical monograph on one of the greatest abstract painters of the twentieth-century. This exceptional volume encompasses an extraordinary retrospective of paintings, all presented at Pace Gallery, which illustrates Rothko's contributions to early American modernism, his unprecedented transition into abstraction, and his groundbreaking mature work. Pace Gallery founder, Arne Glimcher's influence in highlighting Rothko's visionary aesthetic and analyzing the progression of his career is embodied in this definitive publication, with original essays from esteemed art historians and exquisite color reproductions. Featuring an illuminating reminiscence by Glimcher, Mark Rothko at Pace faithfully preserves the artist's legacy while also extending his artistic achievements to new audiences alike.
An amazing treatment of Rothko's work by someone who knew him, including stellar essays by others -- some of which present new material and interpretations. The plates are exquisite. For Rothko fans, it just doesn't get better than this!
the reproductions are invaluable. the essays are ...tiring. this is the kind of prose we used to make fun of when i was an undergraduate taking art criticism courses
