A retrospective of Mark Rothko's painting would be an event of significance
in any circumstances. The current presentation, however, is unique in
two respects: first, it is the most comprehensive survey of Rothko's work ever
held and, second, the artist's tragic death in 1970 bestows upon it a finality
which obviously would not obtain in an exhibition mounted during his
lifetime. Furthermore, this is the first show of Rothko's painting after an
almost decade-long hiatus caused by extensive litigation—court proceedings
that made it impossible until now to realize an exhibition or even to gain
access to a representative sampling of the artist's lifework from which a
selection could be made
