Born Marcus Yakovlevich Rotkovitch, he emigrated from the Russian Empire to the United States at age ten, already well educated in the Talmud and carrying with him bitter memories of the pogroms and persecutions visited upon the Jews of Latvia. Few artists have achieved success as quickly, and by the mid-twentieth century, Rothko's artwork was being displayed in major museums throughout the world. In May 2012 his painting Orange, Red, Yellow was auctioned for nearly $87 million, setting a new Christie's record. Author Annie Cohen-Solal gained access to archival materials no previous biographer had seen. As a result, her book is an extraordinarily detailed portrait of Rothko the man and the artist, an uncommonly successful painter who was never comfortable with the idea of his art as a commodity"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Rothko, Mark, $d 1903-1970. 650 0 $a Painters $z United States $v Biography. 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Artists, Architects, Photographers. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Religious. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a ART / History / Contemporary (1945-). $2 bisacsh 600 17 $a Rothko, Mark, $d 1903-1970. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00016334 650 7 $a Painters. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01050530 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Biography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423686 830 0 $a Jewish lives (New Haven, Conn.) 941 $a 8 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231021024107.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722050522.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204080251.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110062204.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006084941.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826112900.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20150515012618.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20150502014339.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7FC3A470E59011E4B87737CBDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWRInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
