Chicago's Art Institute of Chicago holds 3 works by Mark Rothko (1903–1970) — the city's entire known holding of this artist in a single institution.
Rothko wanted his large colour-field paintings to evoke specific emotions, and he intended them to be viewed in subdued light, at close range. In person, the edges of his colour fields breathe and pulse in a way that is entirely lost in reproduction.

The Art Institute of Chicago is at Millennium Park — take the Red or Green CTA line to Adams/Wabash. Allow at least three hours; the Impressionist collection alone warrants a full morning. Illinois residents receive free entry on select days.
