Everyone knows about Mark Rothko, but not everyone knows everything about Mark Rothko. Today I present an investigative deep-dive through his tragic 'suicide' and into his origins as a young labourer sweating the coffee shops of New York for coin and inspiration.

Little did he know (or did he?) that the plastic claws of this world were striving to imitate him; and he was watched from afar by eyes less kind than his own. Join me today, with guest anchor Ed Harris, to explore that frightfully cleansed voidscape that is, was, and will be Mark Rothko.
