The Rothko Chapel, home to 14 monumental modernist paintings by abstract expressionist pioneer Mark Rothko (1903-0970), is a sacred interfaith space dedicated to global human rights, art and spirituality in Houston. The chapel was founded in 1971 by Dominique and John de Menil, patrons of the arts and philanthropists, who placed their trust in Rothko's vision to express the depth, the miraculous and the sacredness of the human spirit in this oasis for the intellect and the mind.

Through recent photographs, this book takes an intimate look at this sacred space. The book includes studies of the recently renovated building, and essays address the spiritual aspect and situate the architecture within the Houston skyline.
