Mark Rothko Oil on Canvas Coral and Blue Fields

Updated August 24, 2026

Artwork Title: Coral and Blue Fields Technique: Oil on canvas Measures: 47 × 37 inches (119.4 × 94 cm) Year: Undated Condition: Good overall condition. The painted surface presents broad fields of saturated color with softly feathered edges and visible brushwork. Minor surface irregularities and light age-related wear may be present. The canvas displays well overall. Please review all photographs carefully, as they form an integral part of the condition description. Provenance: Private collection, Texas. Visual Description: A minimalist Color Field composition featuring two large rectangular areas floating against a deep black ground. A warm coral-red field occupies the upper portion, while a substantially larger blue field dominates the lower section. Soft, diffused boundaries contrast with the surrounding dark field, creating depth and a contemplative visual effect characteristic of mid-20th-century Color Field abstraction. COLLECTOR'S NOTE: This hand-created artwork offers collectors an opportunity to enjoy the visual language, technique, composition, and artistic characteristics associated with the named artist at a substantially more accessible price point than authenticated works by that artist, which may command significantly higher prices in the established fine-art market.

It provides an accessible way to acquire a visually compelling artwork reflecting the aesthetic qualities associated with a celebrated artist without the price expectations attached to an authenticated work.
