Rothko in Britain

An exhibition revisiting the Whitechapel's 1961 show of Mark Rothko. On display are photographs, letters and other material from the archives, as well as Rothko's painting 'Light Red Over Black' (1957), the first work by Rothko to be bought by a British public collection. The show also chronicles the American's relationship with British artists such as Peter Lanyon, Patrick Heron and Terry Frost.
