Like Pablo
Picasso, Rauschenberg (1925–2008) was known for his protean output and
willingness to experiment outside the box. He was a collagist who used found
objects and images in densely packed pictorial compositions and sculptural
aggregations that explored the gap between art and life. His work helped to
loosen Abstract Expressionism’s aesthetic stranglehold on the New York art
scene of the 1950s, and in the bargain, set the stage for Pop Art. His 60-year
career is celebrated in this retrospective bringing together some 250
paintings, sculptures, drawings, prints, photographs, sound and video
recordings.
