## Caption

Applause filled the Sotheby’s saleroom as Mark Rothko’s rare masterpiece ‘Brown and Blacks in Red’ sold for $85.8 million from the Robert Mnuchin: Collector at Heart Evening Auction. 

Standing nearly 8 feet tall, this monumental canvas is one of only 12 large-scale paintings Rothko made in 1957. It was first owned by Joseph E. Seagram & Sons, Inc., who then commissioned the historic Seagram Murals. ‘Brown and Blacks in Reds’ marks a historic accomplishment, conjuring the language of feeling that no artist has ever dared to replicate since.
