The Rothko Chapel

The Rothko Chapel
Letter of RecommendationBy JACQUI SHINE New York Times AUG. 23, 2017
I've been to the Rothko Chapel. I'd spent many hours at the Twombly Gallery before I went and I wasn't impressed. I usually am moved by Rothko. I hated the building and was disturbed by the number of people who were there - maybe 25 or so. I went back to the Twombly... But Shine's essay ensures that next time I am in Houston I will revisit the Chapel, and give it the respect it is due. Still, I go to Houston for the Twombly, which requires an entirely different sensibility.
