Remarks
The number assigned during Rothko’s inventory of 1968/1969 signifies a creation date of 1953 for this work, but technical and stylistic comparison with similar works indicates that it was more likely made in 1959. When Sedat Pakay, a graduate student in photography at Yale School of Art, photographed Rothko in his studio in 1967, the artist posed before the current work and [Untitled], (fig. 1).
