“No jokes about my name.”

Mark Rothko, Views of the Rothko Chapel, Houston, TX, which opened in 1971 after Rothko’s suicide in 1970 ( Part II)

The Chapel’s original architect was the great Philip Johnson, however art collectors Dominique and John de Menils  involved Rothko more intimately in the design. Rothko wasn’t  fully satisfied with any of the ideas Johnson came up with and Johnson left the project officially (though returned as a consultant) and and  work fell to to Howard Barnstone and Eugene Aubry. Howard and Aubry worked closely with Rothko to fulfill Rothko’s vision.

Thanks to Christopher Erdos  for contributing this great photo that I mistakenly did not credit.
