700 pp.; 24.3 x 17.5 cm.; sewn bound; black-and-white; edition size unknown; unsigned and unnumbered; offset-printed Biography of Mark Rothko by James E. B. Breslin. Includes index. "A book of heroic dimensions, this is the first full-length biography of one of the greatest artists of the twentieth century -- a 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. Breslin offers us not only an enticing look at Rothko as a person, but delivers a lush, in-depth portrait of the New York art scene of the 1930s, '40s, and '50s?the world of Abstract Expressionism, of Pollock, Rothko, de Kooning, and Klein, which would influence artists for generations to come." -- publisher's statement Fine.
