Dentro l\u2019opera<\/em> guides readers through the painter\u2019s career with a narrative that combines personal memories, formal analysis and critical reflection. Psychologist and writer Christopher Rothko brings together eighteen texts written over more than ten years and focusing on his father\u2019s entire oeuvre \u2013 from the figurative works of the 1930s to the neo-surrealist phase and the gradual deconstruction of forms and impressive paintings characterised by fields of colour. The story reveals the points of contact between Rothko\u2019s work and the turning points in his life, while painting a portrait that is both human and professional.<br \/>\r\n<h2>MARK ROTHO: A BOOK AND AN EXHIBITION<\/h2><br \/>\r\nAvailable in bookshops from 6 March 2026, the volume is part of <em>Rothko in Florence<\/em>, the major exhibition that will pay tribute to the connection between the artist and the Tuscan city from 14 March to 23 August 2026. Designed specifically for Palazzo Strozzi, the exhibition \u2012 one of the largest in Italy dedicated to the painter \u2012 celebrates Rothko\u2019s extraordinary ability to use colour as a means of establishing a new spatial perception, beyond the two-dimensional limits of the canvas.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nFollowing a chronological itinerary, the exhibition takes visitors on a journey through Rothko\u2019s artistic career, bringing together works from private collections and international museums such as the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the MoMA and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and the National Gallery of Art in Washington. In addition to Palazzo Strozzi, the exhibition also extends to two satellite sections in two places beloved by the artist: the Museo di San Marco, where the works dialogue with the frescoes by Beato Angelico, and the Vestibolo della Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana.","protected":false},"featured_media":17729,"template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categorie_magazine":[341],"class_list":["post-17667","magazine","type-magazine","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","categorie_magazine-books-from-marte"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>A book and an exhibition dedicated to Mark Rothko - Marsilio Arte<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Mark Rothko is the protagonist of the essay written by his second son Christopher and of the exhibition coming to Florence\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.marsilioarte.it\/en\/magazine\/book-exhibition-mark-rothko\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"A book and an exhibition dedicated to Mark Rothko\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Mark Rothko is the protagonist of the essay written by his second son Christopher and of the exhibition coming to Florence\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.marsilioarte.it\/en\/magazine\/book-exhibition-mark-rothko\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Marsilio Arte\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/MarsilioArte\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-02-25T10:31:53+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.marsilioarte.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Mark-Rothko.-Dentro-lopera_coverAlta-scaled.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1689\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"2560\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@MarsilioArte\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"3 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.marsilioarte.it\/en\/magazine\/book-exhibition-mark-rothko\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.marsilioarte.it\/en\/magazine\/book-exhibition-mark-rothko\/\",\"name\":\"A book and an exhibition dedicated to Mark Rothko - Marsilio Arte\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.marsilioarte.it\/en\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.marsilioarte.it\/en\/magazine\/book-exhibition-mark-rothko\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.marsilioarte.it\/en\/magazine\/book-exhibition-mark-rothko\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.marsilioarte.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/1080x1440.jpg\",\"datePublished\":\"2026-02-24T13:04:37+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2026-02-25T10:31:53+00:00\",\"description\":\"Mark Rothko is the protagonist of the essay written by his second son Christopher and of the exhibition coming to Florence\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.marsilioarte.it\/en\/magazine\/book-exhibition-mark-rothko\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/www.marsilioarte.it\/en\/magazine\/book-exhibition-mark-rothko\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.marsilioarte.it\/en\/magazine\/book-exhibition-mark-rothko\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.marsilioarte.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/1080x1440.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.marsilioarte.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/1080x1440.jpg\",\"width\":1080,\"height\":1440,\"caption\":\"La cover del libro di Christopher Rothko, Mark Rothko.
