Rothko Seagram’s Mural No. 10 at Christie’s

April 16, 2015 by Marion Maneker

1958 – Rothko starts his celebrated Seagram Murals – an ill fated commission that produced a new level of painting and tonal experience for the artist, although famously resulting in Rothko canceling the project when he realized his paintings would be the backdrop for diners at the Four Season Restaurant. Today many of the paintings reside in the Rothko Rooms at the Tate Modern. Christie's will be selling Rothko's magical No.10, a rust toned canvas from 1958 which seems to glow with an inner light – hauntingly beautiful with clouds that have an extraordinary lightness and density at the same time. A truly magical experience
