Mark Rothko
“I became a painter because I wanted to raise painting to the level of poignancy of music and poetry.” Mark Rothko
Fondation Louis Vuitton presents the first retrospective in France dedicated to Mark Rothko (1903-1970) since the exhibition held at the musée d’Art moderne de la Ville de Paris in 1999.
The retrospective curated by Christopher Rothko and Suzanne Pagé brings together some 115 works from the largest international institutional and private collections, including the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., the Tate Gallery in London and the artist’s family. Displayed chronologically across all of the Fondation’s spaces, the exhibition traces the artist’s entire career: from his earliest figurative paintings to the abstract works that he is most known for today.
The permanence of Rothko’s questioning, his desire for wordless dialogue with the viewer, and his refusal to be seen as a “colourist” are all elements allowing a new interpretation of his multifaceted work in this exhibition.
