Associated Names

Mark Rothko

Artist, American, born Russia (now Latvia), 1903 - 1970

This is a drawing of an architectural floor plan showing precise measurements and dimensions labeled in feet and meters. The floor plan is sketched on graph paper with arrows and measurements like "24 feet", "18 feet", "29 feet", and notes like "16 feet high". It includes a central section labeled "Klee" and marginal texts indicating locations within a building, including "Kunstmuseum Basel" in an oval. Additional annotations include "Rosentriebe" and "Hohe des Basisbaumsockel". The drawing appears to be a design plan for an exhibition space.
