I've read a bit about these paintings and they're said to have some kind of luminescence when seen in person, like they're pulsing or shimmering. If you really want to know why these are so expensive just google "why are Mark Rothko paintings so expensive"

Hmmmm maybe but 66M? I mean this world is fucked up. Donate that money to poor children instead

Well no shit, it’s Mark Rothko. And that one specifically is part of one of his most well known series. Non art folk wouldn’t get it. 

 

Personally never gravitated towards his work but there’s a great deal of history and impact with his pieces for abstract expressionism. Some people feel greatly drawn to very minimalist paintings for different reasons. 

 

Was it bought by a gallery or museum? Because the price is nothing then.

I don’t like this painting. I prefer detailed pieces.

 

Actually, after staring at it, it’s quite beautiful in an unconventional way. After having my epiphany I decided to look into him more and his pieces are quite interesting.
