Rothko's Untitled. I don't like abstract expressionism but he's probably the technical height of it from how much work actually went into that.

Sure, but because it's now a 55 year-old idea. If I plagiarise a book written in 1969 and submit it to a publisher they'd also reject it. If you submit a genuinely new idea to an avant-garde gallery then you wouldn't be turned away.

That's why I said instead of Rothko.

That's true, but he's saying that 99.9% of people living in 1969 would also have been tuned away
