Peculiar Works Project co-founder Ralph Lewis sat down with me at the Mark Rothko studio and talked about the upcoming site-specific performance titled: AFTERPARTY: THE ROTHKO STUDIO.
2 Tours Nightly:
Thursday – Saturday at 7:00pm and 8:30pm;
Sunday at 5:00pm and 6:30pm
AFTERPARTY: The Rothko Studio is a site-specific, promenade performance in and around the former studio of legendary painter Mark Rothko. Built in 1884 for the YMCA as the Young Men’s Institute, 222 Bowery is best known for the many now-famous artists who lived, worked, and played in this landmarked gem. The building’s former gymnasium is where Rothko created the infamous “Seagram Murals” commissioned by The Four Seasons restaurant in 1957. AFTERPARTY explores this pivotal moment for downtown artists and offers a rare opportunity to visit this historic studio space.
