Publisher's Note This extraordinary book is the first volume of the definitive catalogue raisonné of the work of Mark Rothko, one of the greatest abstract artists of the twentieth century. It documents Rothko's entire output of paintings on canvas and panel, reproducing all the works in color. An introductory text also investigates every essential feature of Rothko's art.
Industry Reviews "The great advantage of Anfam's book is that it is a catalogue raisonne, which means it begins and ends with the works themselves and moves outward from them, leaving a conscientious reader with concrete evidence on which to form his own judgment....[T]his is not a traditional catalogue raisonne, in which the facts are dryly recorded, but a lively account of the feints and dodges of an extremely complicated artist--a man with conflicting desires to retreat and guard his secrets, and to commune with a sympathetic audience." Washington Post Book World - Dore Ashton (12/13/1998)
