Scope and Contents note:
Dorothy Miller served as a member of the Board of Directors of the Mark Rothko Foundation following a major lawsuit that ensued after Rothko's death in 1970 between the family, executors of the estate, and Marlborough Gallery. In 1977, the litigation ended with Rothko Prizel gaining control of the estate and re-establishing the foundation and its board. Files arranged here document the foundation's efforts to rebuild and determine the best use of Rothko's paintings for the public interest.
