This May at Christie’s New York, Mark Rothko’s No. 15 (Two Greens and Red Stripe) sold for $98.4 million - officially breaking his world auction record of $86.9 million, which had stood for over a decade. But the number only makes sense when you know the history of the work. The work came from the collection of Agnes “Aggie” Gund — philanthropist, former MoMA president, and one of the most influential figures in 20th century American art. She bought it directly from Rothko’s studio in 1967. She’d come in looking for one of his signature fiery reds — Rothko personally steered her toward this deep, brooding green canvas instead. She listened. And it hung in her living room for nearly 60 years. In a market where art gets flipped like tech stocks, a piece with that kind of untouched history is the ultimate prize. Does provenance justify a $98M price tag, or do you still think “I could paint that”? Let’s talk about it below! #MarkRothko #AgnesGund #Christies #ArtMarket #AuctionRecord

Rothko wanted to raise painting to the level of poignancy of music and poetry and he succeeded beyond words. To say that this show is spectacular is an understatement. 115 paintings on loan from museums and private collections that have never been shown together before in such a comprehensive way. Outstanding effort of everyone @fondationlv to make this happen 👏🏽🧡💚

Mark Rothko — MoMA, New York At first glance, his paintings seem incredibly simple — just a few blocks of color. But Rothko believed color was only a tool. What he really wanted was to speak about the deepest human emotions: tragedy, ecstasy, fear, and silence. It’s hard to imagine he started with portraits and city scenes. His journey toward those almost meditative compositions took years of experimentation and change. MoMA, New York 📍 #MarkRothko #MoMA #ModernArt #AbstractExpressionism #NewYorkArt

Los colores no solo se ven, se sienten… A quién más le encanta el mundo tan abstracto y expresivo de Rothko? #markrothko #color #creatividad #design

Ce qui intéresse vraiment Rothko -l’homme et l’artiste , s’il est possible de les séparer-, qu’il veut peindre et transmettre aux autres , c’est le drame humain .

Some of the world’s most profound artistic conversations happened centuries apart without the artists ever knowing the other existed. One painted in New York. The other in Rajasthan. Separated by four centuries, they arrived at the same extraordinary truth about colour, silence and the human spirit. The connection is far more remarkable than you might imagine. Watch till the end. #ArtHistory #MarkRothko #IndianArt #MuseumTok #DesignInspiration

“A painting is not about an experience. It is an experience.” -Mark Rothko Born on this day in 1903, Mark Rothko was born Markus Rothkowitz. His family emigrated from Russia in 1913 and settled in Portland, Oregon. In 1923, Rothko moved to New York where he discovered his love of painting. After a long period of stylistic experimentation, Rothko was prompted toward abstraction by the arrival of European avant-gardists during World War II, ultimately resulting in his signature works, consisting of large, color-saturated rectangles over another color field. Happy Birthday, #MarkRothko!
