All the decent books on Rothko disappear quickly, so a collective sigh of relief among art book-sellers here, as this new one is very much wel-comed from Chronicle Books. * The Bookseller *

Sumptuously illustrated with reproductions of 50 paintings, this book celebrates the rich artistic legacy of American artist Mark Rothko and his signature works as a painter of abstract canvases. --Publishers Weekly
