I love Kate Rothko’s joy and excitement of the life she shared with her father. I saw my first Rothko in the Tate when I was 18 and wrote one of my essays on his work. The colours being mesmerising and enveloping. Kate illuminates so much more to her father’s work with her vital stories and recollections. Thank you Kate.
I've recently become very interested in Abstract Expressionism and Mark Rothko for me is one of the most interesting from this period. It's wonderful finding so much material on him. Of course, that should be no surprise.
Thank you to Kate Rothko for this important and also casual tour. How many of us are influenced by MR's work today? I know I am, and I feel that the fifties were a high water mark for art and American artists. Doesn't hurt that it is in Florence! MR deserves this contemporary recognition - his work is alive today.
Thank you for the videos. I recently discovered Mr. Rothko's paintings. I feel emotions well up within my self by looking at the paintings. The longer I look at them the more movement and thoughts come forth. Amazing work.
è bello vedere come le si illumina il viso quando parla di suo padre e dell'Italia, e dell'arte. una donna senza dubbio affascinante,la figlia di un genio,e lo onora superbamente.
Kate, thank you for your tribute and thoughts about your father. Marlboro gallery should be so ashamed of themselves. You father must be so proud of you and Christopher. Best of luck.
Wonderful!! The early paintings look great! Shallow spaces and cool and nuetral colors. I think perspective is implied in his abstract works. But almost unconscious as an element. This allows the color to swing without allot of compositional elements. Sooo elegant and archetypal.
Yes, H I have one of Mark's ink sketches for sale...it may be included in the upcoming catalog raisonne...i will practically give it away as i do not want to charge alot in this economy..you know...email me here or on yahoo...best Dr. J
Finally the voice of reason lol. His works are pleasing to the eye, some anyway. And would look lovely hung up in a living room. But all this bullshit "it makes me feel like i'm meditating " blah blah bullllfuckkinnngggshiitttt. 10-1 , bet ya not a single person saying things like that has ever meditated lol. or if they have, some new age nonsense ...
"Connected with me... with my father's connection to Italy..." Sounds like connected bullshit from the painter's stout daughter. As a figurative painter Rothko was - to put it kindly - fucking hopeless. However, he did find a way of cashing in on his non-talent by painting rectangles with ragged edges in various 'religious experience' colours. Oh, boy! I think - had he managed to control his sloppy brushwork - he could have made a good house painter. The American Abstract Expressionists, as they came to be called, an incongruous bunch of dysfunctional human beings, were an attempt by the CIA to create a truly American art to rival that of Europe. Typical of the Yanks it had to be big and flashy... and lacking in content. So Barnett Newman discovered the vertical line, Pollock the drip and Rothko the rectangle, etc, etc. These artists were, for a time, good fun regardless of the arty-farty drivel spewed by critics and dealers. Great art tends to look better with the passage of time whereas once fashionable art tends to diminish with every passing year. The Ab Ex's now just look moronic.
Impressionism is completely different...it is a deception of something seen and put on the a canvas. Abstracts, like these an others, are not...they are only about the painting itself. Colors and shapes put together to feel emotion. Rather like instrumental music. Songs with word are about something or someone. Instrumental music is just about sounds put together to feel emotion.
Nothing like giving a daughter (unnecessary) negative feedback about her father! Tit-for-tat- let's hear a little about your dad's work so we can all criticize him! Just give me his name and i'll look him up on wikipedia...
He would have done the world better by writing his venom in words than in paint. What do you, Tom, gain from viewing his paintings? I would love to know.

Through his art. Listen man- my mother has a great similar back story of helping the community, etc... and I guess you and I were both blessed to have parents for whom hundreds showed up at their funeral. You and I can say "my parent did these directly tangible things (insert obit) to help others." That doesn't mean painters, artists, etc... don't help humanity! Can you imagine if there was no art, music, sports, etc...? None are absolutely essential to survival, but they are all things that make us human, inspire us, give us avenues to excel and improve in... So again- what point are you making in slamming someone else's dead parent? If you're going to aim your criticism at someone, isn't it more worth of your family name to do it towards someone who is maybe actually doing negative things in the world? I just don't think you were actually thinking about this before you posted your initial comment.
His Venom? Dude, my point isn't that I like him. My point is that this guy-as far as I can tell- never did anything tangible wrong to others (at least not on a level worth reporting). He's an abstract painter, I don't know much more about him. What exactly did he do to earn your wrath? His venom? You must be quite the connoisseur of abstract expressionism to be able to get "venom" out of his work. Did this guy drown a bunch of puppies or collude with the Nazis?

It's strange how seeing Mark's daughter has an amazing effect on me. I'm totally mesmerized. I'm a total fan of Mark Rothko.
Thanks to Kate and the Rothko Foundation.
without doubt a wonderful man and artist .
Her face is full of joy and excitement. Thanx for sharing.
Kate is such a strong woman ... her father is quite proud of her I'm certain.
He ded.

Nicely done. Thanks.

Wish I knew these works were in Rome while I was there. Good stuff.

Nothing like changing the world's vision
Thank you ;-)
😳woaw!!! Extasia 👍🏼😊
Very inspiring ...I'm going to Home Depot to pick up some paint and brushes

The first in anything is always called master
Mark Rothko was a true painter...
Incredible collection of works, but where is this? I keep reading the description, but can see 🤪🤪🤪
Great retrospective on Rothko, and she's not bad on the eyes for her age haha, but that's just me.
If Rothko painted that , and couldn't explain it , or talk a game , It would have fallen away . His talking leaves me saying , " Huh-wha-HUH?'
2:30 Delicious .. 3:30 The One with Yellow on it , right side of room .
they're rectangles ok
Meet joe black Led me here
She couldn't find a place to stash her purse?
She must be quite wealthy... Is she married? :)
***** Can't you take a joke? :)
Yes, H I have one of Mark's ink sketches for sale...it may be included in the upcoming catalog raisonne...i will practically give it away as i do not want to charge alot in this economy..you know...email me here or on yahoo...best Dr. J
his work were a nice sets of practices with paintings nothing more, theres nothihing spiritual about his work.
Finally the voice of reason lol. His works are pleasing to the eye, some anyway. And would look lovely hung up in a living room. But all this bullshit "it makes me feel like i'm meditating " blah blah bullllfuckkinnngggshiitttt. 10-1 , bet ya not a single person saying things like that has ever meditated lol. or if they have, some new age nonsense ...
Satanism in paintings 🖼 🎨🖌
His figurative work is terrible...No grasp of form or colour. No wonder he turned to abstraction. This hid the lack of figurative skill.
it s awfull this is no art this is rubbish shit etc
martinjanss janss you sound like you have a mental disorder.
Crap. If someone wishes to purchase crap, for whatever amount, that is entirely their perogative.
It's not painting, it's trash.
"Connected with me... with my father's connection to Italy..." Sounds like connected bullshit from the painter's stout daughter.

100% right. Give me Kandinsky. Give me ANY Impressionist.
Impressionism is completely different...it is a deception of something seen and put on the a canvas. Abstracts, like these an others, are not...they are only about the painting itself. Colors and shapes put together to feel emotion. Rather like instrumental music. Songs with word are about something or someone. Instrumental music is just about sounds put together to feel emotion.
Yeah. I suppose that's why so many people love them.

It's too bad he was such a terrible painter. Someone should have convinced that fish to swim instead of biking.
