The exhibition is a compelling testament to Mark Rothko’s time-defying excellence and solid proof of his enduring and inspiring impact on generations of artists worldwide.
Conceptually, No 2 [Untitled] builds on the tenets of Mark Rothko’s creative philosophy – rejecting specificity in form and abandoning symbolism in description to call attention to colour and highlight its impact on our spiritual world.
No. 2 [Untitled] is the second permanent exhibition from the Rothko Museum collection displayed on its premises in what is becoming a watershed moment for this outstanding arts and culture institution. The change of name and the new state-accredited museum status confirm that the former Daugavpils Mark Rothko Art Centre has been a successful player on the global cultural scene and is ready to scale new heights. A decade of experience, an expanding network of local and international partnerships and a rich collection of art in diverse visual mediums make a perfect springboard for a decisive leap forward into a new phase of growth and development rooted in ever-broadening forms of cooperation.
The exhibition will be available until 2026.
