Originally published in 1998 and still in print, this quintessential volume presents an overview of Mark Rothko's stunning corpus of paintings on canvas and panel.

With all works reproduced in color, the book includes the images for which Rothko is most famous--the large, hypnotic, poignant fields of color--along with almost 400 additional paintings that are far less well known and reveal an artist who was attuned by turns to realism, expressionism, surrealism, and the avant-garde issues of his era.

"Far and away the best monograph ever written on Rothko."--Yve-Alain Bois, Artforum

Published in association with the National Gallery of Art, Washington
