Kate Rothko introduce us to her father Mark exhibition in Rome
(October 6th 2007 January 6th 2008) curated by Oliver Wick and produced by PalaExpo and Artemisia.
The first exhibition that spread the knowledge of his work in our Country has been the one presented in the Venice Biennale in 1958, the corpus of paintings from the room devoted to the artist at that time, is now back in Italy after 50 years.
The tradition of the Italian Renaissance, and above all its frescoes, had a remarkable influence on the series of mural commissions pertaining to Rothkos classic period. In fact, he explored its possibilities also in his Surrealist works, in which he gradually perfected the technique of applying extremely thin layers of colour, or washes.
The exhibition ends with the artists last works, the Black on Gray paintings, a group that marks the climax of an oeuvre that steadily became more austere and moved towards new artistic horizons that were in direct relationship with the viewer. (O. Wick)
