Details:
Brought together in an unexpected juxtaposition, a fifteenth–century imperial Chinese porcelain dish and a Mark Rothko (1903–1970) painting reveal the profundity of the color red. This unprecedented pairing of two objects created more than five centuries apart demonstrates that the power of red transcends time and place. Working for different reasons and in different techniques, the Ming dynasty potters and Rothko nonetheless achieved an uncannily similar alchemy of color, texture, shape, and edge. In the end, the dish and painting together leave viewers weeping with the beauty of red.
