Seeing Rothko [sound recording] / [sponsored by the Getty Research Institute].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/732896297

Recording captures lectures and conversations about the artisit Mark Rothko. The Getty Research Institute devoted its 2001- 2002 scholar year to exploring the role of the spectator in completing the experience and meaning of the work of visual art within the theme "Frames of Viewing: Perception, Experience, Judgment." Perhaps no artist of the recent past was more deeply concerned than Rothko with the act of seeing and the conditions under which his work would face its audience. Critical and historical discussion of his art likewise hinges, more than for many of his contemporaries, on just what is being attended to in his paintings. Rothko insisted on his own approaches to lighting and hanging his own art, providing an ideal topic for a symposium with Getty scholars and other art historians, critics, and curators to consider the act of seeing in front of a Rothko painting, and, by extension, the act of seeing itself.
