show and sell your art for free

"The great majority of artists around the world don't have dealers to represent or show their work. It makes it pretty well impossible to get your efforts seen, with most dealers too busy or too lazy to visit studios—and who can blame them ... By allowing artists unfettered access to create their own pages to present their work free on the site, communicate with other artists, sell their work without commission direct to buyers, we want to break the deadlock ... The site is helping to get lots of artists' work out of their studios and onto collectors' walls."

infinity

Red, Orange, Tan, and Purple, 1949


With Mark Rothko's paintings, people say that they evoke 'infinity.' Do you see it this way?

My understanding of infinity goes something like this: every 100 years a sparrow flies to the top of a large mountain, and cleans its beak by scraping it on the highest rock. By the time the mountain has been scrapped away to a small pile of dust, that would be the equivalent of the first second of infinity. 
     I thought of that the last time I stood in front of a Rothko and neither felt an overwhelming sense of infinity, nor had a mystical experience of any kind.
     Maybe I've just seen too many Rothkos and they don't pulsate with ethereal splendour for me anymore. Or perhaps I never quite got the wonder of Rothko.
