This picture of the post-war period by Mark Rothko "Orange, red, yellow" is considered the most expensive in the world, it was sold at auction for 86.9 million dollars
Until now, many are asking the question: why is it so expensive? Incidentally, I share the general surprise about this. And I really want to see this masterpiece live. Because eyewitnesses claim that the work of an American abstract artist should be watched live. Because not a single shot can convey the illusion of a tangible depth of color, the nuances of applying paints to the canvas, the degree of their density / transparency, mixing of layers at the borders of rectangles are not visible. If you stand and look at these compositions, you get the feeling of a hole in the portal. And skeptics attribute the success of selling golden flowers as opposed to gray shades
Rothko said: “People who sob in front of my paintings experience the same religious feelings that I did when I painted them. And if you are only touched by their color relationships, then you have not understood anything. "
