Only if he was willing to sell it to someone likely to hold it in a Swiss airport vault!

Ah the Guggenheim… 😌

Not saying he paid that in 1964, mind you, just that that’s the equivalent value in 1964 dollars.

Quick inflation calculator puts the equivalent price at $917,000 in 1964 when Rothko moved into this studio. Not sure what his finances were at that point, but it seems like a lot, even for someone with his success.

Could Rothko even have afforded this?
