Offered here is an untitled painting from 1983 executed in the style of Mark Rothko. The composition presents a vertically stacked arrangement of luminous color fields set against a dark ground. A deep green upper band hovers above a narrow, softened white interval, followed by a broad field of saturated red, culminating in a vibrant blue lower plane. The edges between colors are subtly blurred, creating a sense of atmospheric depth and quiet tension. The restrained palette and floating rectangles evoke a meditative, contemplative mood, emphasizing emotional resonance through color rather than form.
- Medium: Oil on Canvas
- Dimensions: 34”W x 46”H 86cm x 117cm (overall)
- Presentation: Stretched, mounted, and unframed. The canvas is taut over stretcher bars, with painted sides, providing a modern, minimalist look without a decorative outer frame.
- Markings: Bears signature: “Mark Rothko 1952” on the back. The reverse also features a label from the Marlborough-Gerson Gallery in New York.
- Condition: Good overall condition. The canvas is well-preserved, with stable paint layers and consistent surface texture. Minor signs of age are visible upon close inspection, including subtle craquelure and light wear consistent with the work’s vintage. No apparent restorations noted.
- Attribution: This work is offered explicitly as after Mark Rothko. While not presented as a fully authenticated original by the artist, the subject matter, composition, and execution closely reflect Rothko’s iconic style, making it a compelling acquisition for collectors drawn to his enduring cultural influence. It does not come with a Certificate of Authenticity (COA), is not included in any catalogue raisonné, and is not being represented as an authenticated work by Mark Rothko. Buyers are encouraged to conduct their own independent due diligence prior to purchasing.
- Market Context: A secondary market exists for uncatalogued paintings such as this one, typically resulting in a lower sale price compared to authenticated or catalogued works by the named artist. Rothko‘s authenticated major works typically command prices between $30 million and $80 million+.
This piece offers incredible "wall power" at a very reasonable price and is an excellent statement work for interior designers or collectors of paintings in the style of Mark Rothko.
