Tate Modern presents an exhibition by one of the world’s most famous and best-loved artists, Mark Rothko. This is the first significant exhibition of his work to be held in the UK for over 20 years.

Focussing on Rothko’s ‘series’ works, this is a rare opportunity to see the Seagram Mural paintings reunited together for the first time in a new light. These works were originally commissioned for The Four Seasons Restaurant in the Seagram Building New York, and are drawn from collections in USA, Japan and Tate’s own collection.

Rothko’s iconic paintings, composed of luminous, soft-edged rectangles saturated with colour, are among the most enduring and mysterious created by an artist in modern times. In the exhibition his paintings glow meditatively from the walls in deep dark reds, oranges, maroons, browns, blacks, and greys.

The exhibition also focusses on other late ‘series’ works, such as the Black-form paintings, his large-scale Brown on Grey works on paper, and his last series of Black on Grey paintings, painted in the final decade of his life from 1958-1970, and archival material.

This is going to be the must-see exhibition of the year, book your tickets now for it so as not to miss out.
