The Rothko Chapel would become a magnet for all sorts of unofficial gatherings in addition to the official ones. I have no idea who these guys are.
Mark Rothko, born Marcus Rothkowitz (Latvian: Marks Rotko; September 25, 1903–February 25, 1970), was a Latvian-born American painter and printmaker. He is classified as an abstract expressionist, although he himself rejected this label, and even resisted the classification as an "abstract painter".
04/05/2008 - Houston, Texas - This is a description of the chapel from www.rothkochapel.org:
The Rothko Chapel functions as chapel, a museum and a forum. It is a place where religion, art and architecture intermingle. The Rothko Chapel is free, open to the public, and accessible to the physically challenged every day of the year. It has become a pilgrimage stop for thousands of visitors who are drawn by its importance both as an artistic masterpiece and as an ecumenical gathering place for people of all religious beliefs. Students, art lovers, and scholars from all over the world visit the Chapel for research and inspiration. Modern art books and catalogues worldwide feature the Chapel.
Het Gemeentemuseum presenteert – nog tot 1 maart 2015 - een tentoonstelling over de wereldberoemde kunstenaar Mark Rothko. Van blozend roze tot jubelend geel tot knallend blauw en somber zwart. Wanneer je voor de immense doeken van Mark Rothko staat voel je hoe je in zijn wereld wordt gezogen. De kleurvelden – opgebouwd uit zinderende verflagen – zijn van een ongekende intensiteit en verbeelden universele gevoelens als angst, extase, tragiek en euforie.
Hier hangen de laatste Mondriaan en de laatste Rothko naast elkaar.
