The Whitechapel Gallery revisits its famous first exhibition of Mark Rothko in Britain.

About

The Whitechapel Gallery revisits its famous first exhibition of Mark Rothko in Britain. In 1961 the Whitechapel Gallery showed the work of American artist Mark Rothko in Britain for the first time. While working on his Whitechapel Gallery exhibition Rothko made a breakthrough that was to become the blueprint for all his subsequent shows. This now iconic exhibition is brought vividly to life through the Gallery's archives of original photographs and letters from the artist shown alongside Rothko's painting Light Red Over Black (1957).
