The Seagram murals are a series of paintings by Mark Rothko, his first to experiment with a dark palette. The paintings were originally commissioned for The Four Seasons Restaurant in New York City's Seagram Building. Rothko intended for the dark paintings to sicken the restaurant's patrons. After visiting the restaurant where his paintings were to hang, he canceled and returned his first commission. The paintings were stored and later donated some to the Tate. Rothko made 30 in the series in his lifetime.
