马克·罗斯科（1903-1970）以其宏伟的帆布抽象画作而闻名；喜悦、绝望、狂喜和悲剧是他试图在其光彩夺目的作品中表达的主题。尽管罗斯科声名显赫，但很少有人知道他一生中还创作了1000多幅纸上绘画。这位艺术家并不将这些作品视为初步研究，而是将它们视为独立完成的绘画。

这些非凡的画作涵盖了从早期的具象题材和超现实主义作品，到他最为人所知的柔和边缘矩形色块，这些色块往往以宏大的尺度呈现。这些作品挑战了我们对绘画定义的预期，以及关于罗斯科及其职业生涯的普遍看法。在这本精美的画册中，亚当·格林哈尔格追溯了这些作品在艺术家的接受度、声誉和成功中所扮演的角色。

此书配合四十年来首次专注于罗斯科纸上作品的重大展览，汇集了近百幅光彩照人、鲜少展出的作品。基于格林哈尔格及其团队为罗斯科纸上作品编目所做的重要研究，这本重要的目录为我们提供了一个新的视角，来欣赏这位艺术家实践中一个未被充分认识的方面。

Mark Rothko (1903–1970) is renowned for his towering abstract paintings on canvas; joy, despair, ecstasy, and tragedy are among the themes that he sought to express in his luminous works. Despite Rothko’s prominence, few people know that he also created more than 1,000 paintings on paper over the course of his career. The artist viewed these not as preliminary studies but as finished paintings in their own right.

These remarkable paintings range from early figurative subjects and surrealist works to the soft-edged rectangular fields, often realized at monumental scale, for which Rothko is best known. These works challenge our expectations about how painting is defined, as well as popular ideas about Rothko and his career. In this beautifully illustrated volume, Adam Greenhalgh traces the role these works played in the artist’s reception, reputation, and success.

This book accompanies the first major exhibition dedicated to Rothko’s works on paper in forty years and brings together nearly one hundred radiant, rarely displayed examples. Building on the important research conducted by Greenhalgh and his team for the catalogue raisonné of Rothko’s works on paper, this important catalogue offers a new appreciation of an underrecognized facet of the artist’s practice.
