SPRING 2026: Season’s Opening

At 4 p.m. on Friday, 20 February, the Rothko Museum opens its first exhibition season of the year with six new projects bringing together artistic voices from Italy, Finland, and Latvia.

Moving from contemplative and restrained non-figurative painting and installation to photographic narratives that trace experience as it inscribes itself on mind and body, the season echoes silence, light, belonging, memory, and stillness.

  • Gregorio Botta: “Painting Brings You Home”
  • Rose-Mari Torpo: “Strange Light”
  • Artists from Latgale: “Borderland”
  • RZ Collection: “Ways of Seeing”
  • Jūlija Verbicka-Vasiļjeva: “Habitus”
  • Pēteris Martinsons: “Reflection”

Admission is free on opening night.

The Rothko Museum’s spring exhibition season runs from 20 Febraury to 24 May 2026.


The Rothko Museum’s spring exhibition season was prepared in partnership with the Latvian Centre for Contemporary Ceramics, the Latvian National Museum of Art and Il Cigno Arte, with valued support from the State Culture Capital Foundation of Latvia, Daugavpils City Council, Italian Embassy in Latvia, Nordic Culture Point, Arts Promotion Centre Finland, and Caparol.
