Mark Rothko: The Seagram Murals
2 October 2009  –  21 March 2010
In 1988 Tate Liverpool opened it's doors for the very first time with a memorable display of Mark Rothko’s The Seagram Murals. Over 20 years later the series will make a welcome return to the gallery. Tate Liverpool's ground floor gallery is transformed into an emotive display of these nine significant paintings – the walls will be painted grey according to Rothko’s specifications and atmospheric lighting will enhance the dramatic qualities of the works.  Admission Free.
