Rothko was very particular about how his paintings are shown.The lighting changes the mood of the painting and what is placed on the walls near the paintings has to be sympathetic. Most of his paintings have a painted edge which is important to the painting. Is this because he was aware of a painting being static and different lighting changes this.
I have not seen a Rothko in the flesh yet but i am visiting the London Tate in July where some of his paintings are on display. I hope i am not disappointed!
