Author: ROTHKO - Anfam, David:
Title: Mark Rothko. The Works on Canvas. Catalogue Raisonné.
Description: New Haven/ Washington 1999, (30 x 30 cm), 708 pp. English, 834 ills. (most colour), clothbound/d-jacket/ slipcase. ¶ This massive book is the first volume of the definitive catalogue raisonné of Mark Rothko (1903-1970). When Mark Rothko started his career in New York in the early 1920s, America had no established art. Before his tragic suicide, he completed a mural series for the Rothko Chapel commissioned by the de Menil family, accomplishing for American painting what the Monet water lilies did for French painting in the 1920s. David Anfam connects Rothko to major figures in art history with a historical, philosophical, literary, mythical, and psychological framework for the artist's development as a painter. Within the catalog itself the reproductions are grouped chronologically, with a complete concordance. Inscription, collection, provenance, and exhibition and publication information for each painting are also provided, and the book closes with the most extensive bibliography compiled on Rothko to date. The catalog will continue with works on paper in additional volumes.
