Mark Rothko's resplendent Untitled (Yellow and Blue) is the artist's first major work to be offered in Asia and an unequivocal masterpiece of twentieth-century art history. A glowing aurora of shimmering colour and light, the present work confronts us as the summation of its creator’s deeply philosophical practice, wherein he staged some of the most moving, transcendent, and simply breathtaking unions between mater⛎ial and support ever realised in the grand tradition of oཧil paint on canvas.
The present work will appear in the Modern and Contemporary Evening Auction, presented ꦫin partnership with Celine, on 11 N𝓀ovember 2024 at Sotheby’s Maison in Hong Kong.
