[Washing Machine]

Every other house in Britain seems to have a Rothko print on the wall. His work is just plain, dull and inoffensive enough to match that Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen wallpaper you buy for £7.99 in Focus Do-It-All without scaring your 60 year old neighbour when she pops in for tea. He has become the artist of the Ikea generation...

I understand the huge influence he has had and I appreciate his importance. I'll even admit to liking some of his later stuff. But I find his work in general hugely overated. Sometimes the art world (especially in this current climate) latches on to some unfathomably dull artists.
