ARTstor Digital Library Addition

ARTstor has added over 300 images from the Mark Rothko Family Collection into the ARTstor Digital Library. This release includes 43 paintings scanned from eight-by-ten color transparencies that are not in public collections.

The collection is currently in production, and the images to be released in ARTstor will span Rothko’s entire career. An initial release of Rothko’s paintings on canvas is already available in ARTstor, including examples of his early figurative style, as well as mature works from the late 1940s through the 1960s.

These images can be found from the Welcome Page by clicking on The Image Gallery (under “Browse”) and selecting Mark Rothko from the list.
