A book of heroic dimensions, this is the first full-length biography of one of the greatest artists of the twentieth centurya man as fascinating, difficult, and compelling as the paintings he produced. Drawing on exclusive access to Mark Rothko's personal papers and over one hundred interviews with artists, patrons, and dealers, James Breslin tells the story of a life in art the personal costs and professional triumphs, the convergence of genius and ego, the clash of culture and commerce.
