The best place to hang a painting by Mark Rothko is right where you can grab it as you rush out in a fire. Seen at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston exhibition "The Marzio Years: Transforming the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, 1982–2010."
(For context, I was very critical of Rothko and a show in these same galleries at the MFAH back in 2015.)
