1 work across 1 institution

Madrid's Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía holds 1 work 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.
