Story

Layered bands of red, orange, and a deeper red stack horizontally, nested one within another like glowing rectangles stacked within a larger field. The painting is rendered in oil, completed in 1962. It belongs to the abstract expressionist movement, through the hand of American painter Mark Rothko (1903–1970). The work entered the Saint Louis Art Museum through funds given by a foundation.

Where it works
