The exhibition dedicated to Mark Rothko, hosted in the rooms of Palazzo Strozzi in Florence, offers a unique opportunity to engage with one of the most intense protagonists of 20th-century art.

The exhibition is designed to guide the gaze and emotions, highlighting Rothko's artistic evolution and his profound interest in the spiritual dimension of art. The works are not simply to be observed: they demand to be experienced, in a silent dialogue between color, light, and perception.
The guided tour, lasting approximately one hour, is the ideal way to delve deeper into the meaning of the works and understand the context in which they were created.
