"Art is an adventure into an unknown world, which can be explored only by those willing to take risks"
-Mark Rothko and Adolph Gotllieb manifesto, published in 1943 in the New York Times.
Anyone who knows me knows, my favorite artist is Mark Rothko. But it always seems to me that he gets overshadowed by other artist in the late 20th century or simply no one knows who he is. This Blog is meant to correct fix that.

![“In May last year [2007] a picture by Mark Rothko was sold at Sotheby’s, New York for $72.8 million, which was then the record price for a post-war work of art at auction.
It was an event that would almost certainly have appalled and infuriated the artist. He would, if anything, have been even more agitated by a new retrospective exhibition of his work at Tate Modern.”
