Visitors able to experience emotion of Mark Rothko’s work again now conservation complete
Wednesday 21 January 2026
Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen has completed the conservation and examination of Mark Rothko’s famous painting Grey, Orange on Maroon, No. 8 (1960), one of only two Rothkos in Dutch art collections. In April 2025 the bottom part of the huge canvas (229 x 258.5 cm) sustained damage. The conservation work provided an opportunity to study and gain a better understanding of Rothko’s work process. The museum learned more about the pigments he used and how Rothko applied his painting technique. Visitors were able to follow the entire process at the Depot’s conservation studio. The painting will remain on view to the public there, before travelling to Italy in March.

At the Depot, a selection of international artists and pioneers of digital art is brought together for the first time. Their work ranges from algorithm-generated paintings to retro video games that shed a light on overlooked histories. More than a visual spectacle, the exhibition reveals how artists use technology as an artistic medium to address social and political themes.
