It's all in the eye of the beholder, but in many ways, artwork is a room's best accessory. Speaking of artwork, a few months ago I had the pleasure of visiting a lovely home out in the country farmland of Virginia.
Besides the gorgeous sprawling 70+ acreage of land that I stumbled upon, I also had the luxury of viewing a lovely Mark Rothko piece of art on the wall in the living room.
The artwork of Mark Rothko is quite a statement piece, especially in terms of the abstract expressionism market of the art world. The two distinct colors of this piece stand out together, and apart. But by placing more artwork on the wall accompanied by this piece takes away from the remarkable presence of this work. Yes artwork is important in any room, but to have competing artwork is never the way to go.
So, if you happen to casually have a Rothko of your own sitting at home, don't over think what else you can put on the walls, instead think about what objects you can accessorize with to enhance such a phenomenal piece of art.

Potential accessories for this space could include the following:

photo from crate and barrel
photo from dwell studio
Instead of adding more items to the wall, try adding more items around the room. It's a great way to spread the colors from the Rothko throughout your space!
Happy Accessorizing!
