All in all, the exhibition is a neat retrospective showing the wonderful works and inspirations of Mark Rothko. From a visitor’s and art historian’s point of view, strolling through the show means diving in into a beautifully staged ARTISTIC UNIVERSE.
From a museologist’s point of view on the other hand, visiting this specific Rothko exhibition leaves the flavor of a missed OPPORTUNITY. I somehow left the show with a feeling of disappointment, although the exhibition makers did everything right and kept all promises.
But wait a minute, did they? Let’s get back to the redly flanked Theseus, who welcomed me on the staircase! His charm came from its UNCONVENTIONAL combination of Classical and Modern Art. From the contrast between Figuration and Abstraction. From this pure promise of FACTION actually.
So the question is: Was the factionate promise of the entrance fulfilled inside of the exhibition? Well, only partly, I’d say.
I have learn some just right stuff here. Definitely price bookmarking for revisiting.
I surprise how a lot effort you place to make this
sort of fantastic informative website.
Thank you for your kind words!
