"In the hushed, monastic cells of Florence's Museo di San Marco, Mark Rothko's canvases pulse with spiritual intensity. Rothko's paintings are a new arrival, part of the city's latest major exhibition."
"Rothko in Florence is the Palazzo Strozzi's new exhibition exploring how the Tuscan city and its art shaped the American artist, who visited three times in the 1950s and 60s."
"The exhibition's key features a focused account of Rothko's creative evolution, with a fine selection from private collections and major museums including New York's Museum of Modern Art."
"Rothko in Florence does something new through the originality and force of its thematic focus, enhancing the emotional weight of the artworks displayed."
The exhibition 'Rothko in Florence' showcases the influence of Florence's art on Mark Rothko, featuring 70 works across three locations. It includes pieces from major museums and private collections, with a significant display at Palazzo Strozzi. Rothko's canvases, displayed alongside Fra Angelico's frescoes, create a dialogue that enriches the emotional experience of the space. Despite recent major retrospectives, this exhibition offers a fresh perspective through its thematic focus, highlighting Rothko's connection to the Tuscan city and its artistic legacy.
