"Untitled (Seagram Mural)" is a 1959 painting by abstract expressionist artist Mark Rothko, known for its minimalist composition of rectangular fields of color. The work utilizes various shades of red, creating a sense of depth and atmosphere. Rothko's signature style of applying paint in soft, hazy layers gives the painting a subtle luminescence. While the work's title refers to its intended location for a commission, it is currently without a permanent home.
