MARK ROTHKO EXHIBIT

AT

ST. LOUIS ART MUSEUM

A rare collection of Mark Rothko paintings

is assembled at the St. Louis Art Museum,

and is on exhibit until September 14.

That gives you 3 more weeks to see

"Tragic and Timeless: The Art of Mark Rothko."

If you've only seen Rothko's work

in books, film and posters,

you owe it to yourself to stand in front 

of a Rothko original canvas.

Somehow the colors and subtleties

come to life when you experience him up close.

(A very emotional experience!)

Rothko (1903-1970) is of Russian Jewish descent,

and his paintings are setting all auction records.

("Orange, Red, Yellow" recently sold for $175-million

at Christie's auctions.)
