In der Rothko Chapel Chapel in Houston (Texas, USA) hängen 14 Gemälde des US-amerikanischen Malers Mark Rothko. Sie zeigen allesamt unterschiedliche Schattierungen von Schwarz. Während er nie offenbarte, welche Bedeutung diese Gemälde haben, bleibt ihre Wirkung auf viele, die sie betrachten, nicht aus.
Zu ihnen gehört auch Peter Gabriel, der sich inspirieren lies zu seinem Song "Fourteen Black Paintings".
From the pain come the dream
From the dream come the vision
From the vision come the people
From the people come the power
From this power come the change

The interfaith sanctuary in Montrose was closed from July until December because of damage sustained during Hurricane Beryl. Grant money from the Bank of America will help restore the Mark Rothko paintings that make up the east wall triptych.
Months after Hurricane Beryl forced the temporary closure of Rothko Chapel, curators of the spiritual space in Houston's Montrose neighborhood announced it's on track to reopen by Dec. 17.

Many visitors to the Rothko Chapel have used it as an interfaith sanctuary to reflect, meditate and pray. The silence of the space, coupled with concrete walls, could either relax or intimidate a guest with its pensive atmosphere.
