Death at Work
Norwegian title: Døden i arbeid
The artist Mark Rothko killed himself in 1970, leaving behind nothing but a collection of mysterious paintings. This novel takes the form of Rothko’s fictional suicide note, but from a completely different reality. He lives in the southeastern Norwegian city of Drammen. As does the artist Agnes Martin. Death at Work is an exploration of the possibilities of form; a removal of the boundaries between biography, art and fiction.
