THROUGH APRIL 2, 2024, Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris will host a major exhibition on Mark Rothko (1903–1970), the first such retrospective in France since 1999. Curators will bring together 115 works from international institutions, private collections, and the artist’s family. Notable appearances include Rothko’s Green on Blue (1956) and his nine Seagram murals. The exhibition follows a chronological journey through Rothko’s career, from his early figurative paintings to his defining abstract expressionism. This comprehensive show—which expects blockbuster attendance—will help new audiences decipher the silent dialogue between the master abstractionist’s iconic geometric shapes and bold color. – ANN MAGNER
