His art has been auctioned for up to $186 million, but he once turned down a commission at a fancy restaurant because he felt his work wouldn\u2019t be appreciated by the wealthy patrons there. He was raised in Portland and graduated from Lincoln High School in 1921. His first-ever solo exhibition was at the Portland Art Museum, which is opening its Rothko Pavilion on November 20th. <\/p>\n<p class=\"article-body__text article-body--padding color_dgray m-none\">OPB Oregon Art Beat Producer Eric Slade made <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/video\/rothko-pictures-must-be-miraculous-zck9ru\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/video\/rothko-pictures-must-be-miraculous-zck9ru\/\">a documentary <\/a>about Rothko, and he joins us to explore what makes his work so special.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-body__text article-body--padding color_dgray m-none\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.opb.org\/shows\/evergreen-podcast\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Listen to all episodes of The Evergreen podcast here.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Abstract Master Mark Rothko.
