Catalogue Note

"I saw a Rothko painting, orange and yellow, 1956, big enough to blanket you physically when you were close to it. You could bathe in the light-color... Yet the paint was so thinly applied - barely there... Such experiences made me realize what painting's unique reality was: neither object nor window. It existed in the space between."
