MARK ROTHKO

«Many painters hated Andy because they thought he wanted to destroy art. Nothing could have been further from the truth, but in the pretentious art market of that period, much was made of his methods and attitude. When Andy and Ruth ran into Mark Rothko on Sixth Avenue and 12th street on sunday afternoon, and Ruth said : «Mark this is Andy Warhol» the eminent painter turned and walked away without a word.
