Access Industries Supports Tate Modern Rothko Exhibition

Access Industries congratulates Tate on mounting this historic exhibition of Mark Rothko's life and works (the first significant exhibition of his work in the United Kingdom in more than 20 years) and we are delighted to provide our support to this exhibition.

The exhibition reunites for the first time the works from Tate Modern’s ‘Rothko Room’ with works from Japan. The exhibition will also focus on other work in series, such as the Black-Form paintings, his large-scale Brown and Grey works on paper, and his last series of Black on Grey paintings, created in the final decade of his life from 1958-1970.

Rothko’s iconic paintings, composed of luminous, soft-edged rectangles saturated with colour, are among the most enduring and mysterious created by an artist in modern times. In the exhibition his paintings glow meditatively from the walls in deep dark reds, oranges, maroons, browns, blacks and greys.
                          
Access Industries is particularly proud to be linked to Rothko's achievements.  He is renowned as a creative artist whose influence has affected so deeply the history and direction of art throughout the world.  Indeed, Access Industries recognizes the limitless value of fostering creativity, initiative and imagination to achieve the full potential of our employees and global holdings.
                              
We hope that people enjoy this important exhibition as much as we have enjoyed making it possible.
