Washington DC's National Gallery of Art holds 172 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.
