- As part of the exhibition “Mark Rothko”, his son Christopher Rothko gave a talk on Monday, March 18, 2019, at the Cupola Hall of the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna. Trained as a clinical psychologist, Christopher Rothko gave up his practice to oversee the legacy of his father Mark Rothko, to help with the organization of exhibitions and to lecture about his work. He has been closely involved in the exhibition at the Kunsthistorisches Museum, from the preliminary planning and decisions about which works to exhibit, up to and including the final installation. He will talk in detail about his father’s career and legacy, and offer his own personal interpretation of the exhibition, which will be on display at the Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna from March 12 to June 30, 2019.

I understood Rothkos work about 15 years ago when I was looking at, of all things, a poster of one of his paintings. It was one of the yellow, orange and white color block paintings, and I was very close it as Rothko wanted everyone to look at his paintings. I first thought, "Oh, Im looking through a screen door out at a warm, sunny day". But then as I continued to look at it, I thought, "Wait a minute. Where am I looking exactly? Am I looking outward, or am I looking inward? And as I was thinking this, I felt several doors opening inside of me. I didnt have words for the feelings those doors opened. It was an unbelievable experience.
For a time in the mid 2000's I did some work for the Tate galleries and was lucky enough to have access to the Modern and Britain without the crowds. Sadly, at the time I lacked the understanding of what such an opportunity I had to sit in the Rothko room alone. I remember walking out of there just not getting it. All these years later I am completely obsessed. Great presentation, thank you Christopher.
I actually find his 60’s works comforting. That might be because I suffer from depression as well. It is comforting in the way that it makes you feel okay with your situation and you may dwell in the moment in your sadness.
Can absolutely relate to every word you're saying, but I also wanna add, that his paintings make me realise I'm not alone with these feelings.
Your a socially engineered zombie

_“What an interesting presentation. It reminds me of an opportunity to talk about myself.”_
Thank you for the walk🎉😢😮😊 thank you for the walk
I am glad that Rothko had this connection with colours.I also am glad that he made a lot of money and has a well spoken son.
There are m a n y other abstract painters who are deeply connected with colours though and filter their emotions thanks to them.
WordsInLineSpaceAndTime no words I'm speechless 😢

There are mainly s q u a r e s interacting in Rothko's paintings. .which somehow documents that his sense of movement is l i m i t e d and/or even blocked.
Sadly Christopher Rothko says the same thing-that the paintings speak intimately to the viewer-repeatedly. This lecture is deeply superficial.
He doesn't understand his father 😂😂
terrible public speaker
El hombre que no sabía pintar.
Dijo el hombre que no sabia ver.
