i would have thought rothko's work does not translate into a small scale print very well at all as the effect of the paintings are very much about the slight fluctuations in the colour and texture tht stand out amongst the enourmity of the canvas. these are obviously more pronounced in the original and would not be as visible in a print, you are more likely just to see a block of colour and pass it off as such. the rothko room in the tate made a huge impression on me, it was an awesome experience. if i had seen the same pictures in somebody's kitchen, i would have probably yawned them off. obviously, with other artists, this is not always the case, but i think with rothko, it is.
