Composición . 1959

In one of the writings conserved in the Archivo José Guerrero, which is reproduced in the catalogue, the artist discusses Rothko’s revealing visit to his first exhibition at the Betty Parsons Gallery in 1954. The encounter was decisive in his abandonment of experimentation with the techniques of architectural painting and in his exploration of what he considered to be “pure painting”, as can be seen in the artist’s unpublished manuscript “New York”, that we are presenting in the document display case of this show.
