The legacy of Mark Rothko, one of the 20th century's leading artists, is coming home to Portland.

The Portland Art Museum on Thursday announced that as part of a major expansion, it will construct a three-story, glass-walled Rothko Pavilion that will connect the museum's two buildings in the South Park Blocks. The pavilion will house major Rothko paintings that will be loaned by the artist's children, Christopher Rothko and Kate Rothko Prizel, on a rotating basis during a 20-year partnership.
