Rothko Family Reacts Following the horrible vandalism of one of Mark Rothko’s iconic Seagram paintings, the artist’s children, Kate Rothko Prizel and Christopher Rothko, responded with this statement:  “The Rothko family is greatly troubled by yesterday’s occurrence but has full confidence that the Tate Gallery will do all in its power to remedy the situation.
