He was 96. Mr. Blinken's career took off in 1966, when he co-founded the investment group E.M. Warburg, Pincus & Company. He remained associated with the company until being appointed ambassador in 1994. Mr. Blinken had further impact as a hobbyist with an interest in the arts. It began with a dispute over the custodianship of hundreds of paintings by Mark Rothko after his suicide in 1970. In the mid-1970s, the executors of Rothko's estate were dismissed, and Mr. Blinken--who had begun collecting Rothko's paintings in the 1950s--became president of the Mark Rothko Foundation.
