Mark Rothko,

(Marcus Rothkowitz)

Was born in Daugavpils on

25th September 1903 (at that

time Dvinsk, Russian

Empire).

In 1913 emigrated to the USA

along with his family. Died in

1970 in New York.

Mark Rothko is one of the

most influential artists of the

20 century's second part, the

founder of abstract

expressionism and color field

painting. His works of art can

be observed in world's most

famous galleries.

DAUGAVPILS MARK ROTHKO ART CENTRE IS LOCATED in the Artillery Arsenal

building (1833) of the Dinaburg Fortress. It is the place where the antiquity has

recovered and goes step for step with the modernity, forming the unique and inspiring

place for creativity expression.

«Nicolai Poliakoff (Coco the Clown) was born there – as was Joseph Rosen,

described as the Talmudic genius of his time. In 1903 Marcus Rothkowitz was

also born in the same city, Daugavpils in eastern Latvia....»
