サザビーズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (サザビーズInstagram)「In 1958, Mark Rothko was consumed by a project that has since become the stuff of legend: a commission from architect Philip Johnson and Phyllis Lambert, heiress to the Seagram fortune, to produce a series of works for the Four Seasons restaurant on the ground floor of the Seagram’s new headquarters on New York’s Park Avenue. Although Rothko initially seized upon the commission with vigor, producing a magnificent series of large-scale canvases in a portentous scheme of reds and blacks, he ultimately withdrew from the contract and returned the hefty fee he had been paid. ‘Untitled,’ from the collection of Emily Fisher Landau, was completed as part of this infamous series. Indeed, partially titled “Seagram Mural Sketch,” Untitled is directly related to Section Four of the mural series, now held in the collection of the Tate, London, in its composition and inverted color scheme. For me, Untitled is a masterpiece of Rothko’s oeuvre in its own right.
