The Rothko Chapel, a sanctuary dedicated to global human rights, art, and spirituality, is an interfaith sacred space located in Houston. Founded in 1971 by arts patrons and philanthropists Dominique and John de Menil, the Chapel is home to 14 monumental modernist paintings by the pioneering Abstract Expressionist Mark Rothko. The de Menils placed their utmost faith in Rothko's vision to express the profound, miraculous, and regard for the sanctity of the human spirit in this oasis for the intellect and the spirit.
This large-format volume offers an intimate look at the sacred space, where visitors seek solace and inspiration within this truly ecumenical sanctuary featuring Rothko's iconic paintings. Pamela Smart delves into the spiritual side of the Chapel, while Stephen Fox contextualizes its architecture within the context of Houston. The Chapel has undergone a rework within an expanded campus to enhance the experience for its many visitors. As viewers sit in stillness or move about the Chapel's serene octagonal enclosure, the reinstalled skylight better reveals the nuances of Rothko's powerful panels and allows for a better connection to the outdoors as conditions shift, such as when clouds pass above.
The Rothko Chapel's commitment to global human rights, art, and spirituality continues to resonate with people from all walks of life, making it a truly unique and transformative experience.
