Mark Rothko

A vandal has daubed paint on a piece of work valued at several million pounds at the Tate Gallery in London.

The work in question is Maroon on Black 1958 by Mark Rothko, the original of which I reproduce below:-



I am happy to listen to anybody who can tell me why this is remotely valuable.

I'm not a philistine, but I'm also not stupid.
