Summary: For Triple Canopy's thirteenth issue, <a href="http://canopycanopycanopy.com/13"><em>Bad Actors</em></a>, artist David Levine wrote <a href="http://canopycanopycanopy.com/13/matter_of_rothko">“Matter of Rothko,”</a> an essay about coming to terms, later in life, with his father’s role in the scandal over Mark Rothko's estate—and with his failings as a father. Levine tells Triple Canopy's Anna Altman what he found out about Rothko, his dad, and himself while writing the essay, and what happened after publication: the discovery of new evidence, a brush with the law, the ghosts looking over his shoulder.
