Rothko Retrospective at Fondation Louis Vuitton

Event Description

The Fondation Louis Vuitton devotes a flagship retrospective to Mark Rothko bringing together some 115 works from major international art institutions and private collections, including the National Gallery of Art in Washington, the artist’s family, and the Tate in London. The exhibit retraces the artist’s career from his first figurative paintings to the abstraction that defined his later work. “I became a painter because I wanted to raise painting to the level of poignancy of music and poetry,” he said.
