Mark Rothko, Untitled, 1948 oil on canvas 45 x33 5/8" © 1998 Kate Rothko Prizel & Christopher Rothko/Artists Rights Society (ARS), 

Displayed at Pace Gallery exhibition 1/12-2/10/90

This is only the second scan I have seen of this and the first one is very much redder, but I have not seen it in person to say what's more accurate. In my experience, the pace gallery, if this was even taken by then, tends to take darker shots of the paintings then a lot of other places do. There was an old pace gallery book where I would swear that everything was just much darker than it actually appeared in life, but looking at the new Louis Vuitton, showing in Paris, some of those old pace gallery scans are more accurate than I thought.

Most of this has to do with the lighting, photographers choose, sometimes this lighting is forced on them by the type of lighting a gallery has. At one time, this kind of big color shift would surprise me, but now I see it all the time.

Reality is infinitely diverse, compared with even the subtlest conclusions of abstract thought, and does not allow of clear-cut and sweeping distinctions. Reality resists classification.
