Mark Rothko, No. 5 {Untitled}, 1964

oil on canvas, 90" × 69" (228.6 cm × 175.3 cm)

One of the Black Form Paintings

While I consider this a “light” scan (from pace gallery) and will likely replace it, it’s loads better than our earlier ones and actually looks like a painting.

However, I’ll show you a picture from the show soon and you’ll see it’s far darker in person. This is lovely anyway and is growing on me. It’s by a large measure the most brown of the Black Form paintings.

I should (and will) update many old scans here as I find the time.
