This is my second Rothko book. If you can find it for a good price, get it without hesitation. 75 paintings, including some almost-actual size closeups make it an astounding book. It includes a gorgeous fold-out spread of the Seagram murals on view in Chiba. I debated between this and a cheap $20 book and am glad a paid a bit more. Gives me chills, makes me want to make music.
