Rothenberg first came to attention in 1975, with her solo show at 112 Green Street, in which she exhibited three large paintings of horses, a subject with which she was associated for long afterwards, although she concentrated on it for only five years. Her work can be found in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Stedelijk in Amsterdam. Angela Westwater, who had long shown Rothenberg’s work at Sperone Westwater gallery, said in a statement, ‘As a pioneer, she extended the boundaries of painting, especially for other women artists.’
