Story

Three glowing bands stack one above another, their orange, yellow, and red tones hovering against a deep red field. The edges blur softly, giving the rectangles a sense of floating rather than sitting flat on the surface. Rendered in oil on canvas in 1961, the piece belongs to Mark Rothko, an American painter associated with abstract expressionism, whose work explored abstract art through color and form.

Where it works

A warm-toned abstract suited to living rooms and hallways, and to restaurants, in a vertical format.
