His stylistic explorations resulted in a proliferation of works on paper and canvas, with layered transparencies of vibrant pigments and earth tones culminating in luminous and ethereal soft-edged compositions. His approach to painting emphasized an experimental engagement with process in order to fully articulate a universal expression. Among Rothko's artistic philosophies, he held that painting was a deeply psychological and spiritual experience through which basic human emotions could be communicated.</p><p><b>Arne Glimcher</b> founded Pace Gallery in 1960 in Boston. The gallery moved to New York in 1963, and has since opened locations in Beijing, Geneva, Hong Kong, London, Palo Alto, and Seoul. Glimcher has played a critical role in the careers of many of the world's greatest artists, among them Jean Dubuffet, Robert Irwin, Agnes Martin, Louise Nevelson, Robert Rauschenberg, Mark Rothko, and Lucas Samaras. In addition to organizing scholarly exhibitions, he has also published widely on the history of art. He is the author of the monograph <i>Agnes Martin: Paintings, Writings, Remembrances</i>, published by Phaidon Press in 2012, as well as <i>Picasso, Braque and Early Film in Cubism; Modern Art and Modern Science: The Parallel Analysis of Vision, </i> co-authored with Paul C. Vitz; and <i>Louise Nevelson: A Monograph</i>.
