Mark Rothko's work is some of the most instantly recognisable of the Twentieth Century. And the problem with overexposure on the scale that Rothko has faced (along with the likes of Van Gogh, Picasso, Dalí and Monet) is that it is difficult to see the works afresh, to see them for themselves and not simply something that has appeared in print form in countless semi-trendy barn conversions up and down the land.

Well, this Winter, Tate Modern gives you an opportunity to see Rothko's work, as it were, for the first time. Paintings from the gallery's Rothko Room are on display alongside works from Japan for this the first major Rothko exhibition in the UK for over 20 years.

Second only to the Francis Bacon show at Tate Britain, this is probably the major exhibition of the Winter.

Until 01.02.09.
