Rothko Gets Museum in Native
Land — Color Field painter Marcus Rothkovitz, better known as
Mark Rothko, will have a museum dedicated to his work in his home country of Latvia, where he was born in 1903, to serve as both a
historical commemoration and, as the late painter's son Christopher Rothko states, «a center for living art that will help promote visual art in the region.»
The South Australian Aboriginal
Lands Trust Act 1966 (SA)
marking the beginning of
land rights type legislation in Australia aimed to address this
historical injustice by ensuring title to reserve
land, and to extra
land where possible, was held on trust for the benefit of Aboriginal people.
