Original artwork description:

White Center (Yellow, Pink and Lavender on Rose) is an abstract painting by Mark Rothko completed in 1950. Rothko believed that the rectangles merely offered a new way of representing the presences or spirits that he tried to capture in those earlier works.

He imagined a kind of direct communion between himself and the viewer, one which might touch the viewer with a higher spirituality. White Center was sold in May 2007 by Sotheby's on behalf of David Rockefeller to the Royal family of Qatar.

Materials used:

Acrylic on masonite
