Los Angeles holds 3 works by Mark Rothko across 2 institutions, including Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles and Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
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.
