Mark Rothko Residency, Daugavpils, Latvia. 2012
The Daugavpils Mark Rothko Centre
This is a photo I took in March last year, during the opening of the DMRC. I was lucky enough to be there for 3 days and saw all the celebrations, met Kate and Christopher Rothko (Mark Rothko's children) who were lending six original paintings by their father to the centre. I also met some of the artists who were on my residency the previous year.
The DMRC is huge, as you can see from the photo. My work is now housed in there, along with other work from the huge collection, and there are rooms devoted to Mark Rothko and his life.
