Rauschenberg Robert, *1925 (Port Arthur, Texas) Lives in Captiva, Florida, works with painting, photography, prints, collage and installation. Plum Chess (Urban Bourbon Series),1994 Acrylic on laminated and mirrored aluminium, 246 x 399 cm © 2004 Robert Rauschenberg/VAGA, NY/ ProLitteris, Zürich Robert Rauschenberg concentrates on the theme of working "in the lacuna between art and life". He began to integrate waste products from modern American everyday life into his pictures in the 1950s. This was when the famous "combine" paintings were produced -- an encounter between Coca-Cola bottles and expressive painting. Since then, his canvases have also been awash with newspaper and magazine photographs. A torrent of pictures induces groundbreaking associations. |

Rauschenberg Robert, *1925 (Port Arthur, Texas) Lives in Captiva, Florida, works with painting, photography, prints, collage and installation. Why you can’t tell,1979 Colour serigraph, 76 x 58 cm © Robert Rauschenberg / 2007, Pro Litteris, Zurich In 1953, Robert Rauschenberg spectacularly proclaimed the end of Abstract Expressionism by erasing a drawing by Willem de Kooning and declaring the result a work of art. He rejected the introspection, gravity and self-referentiality of abstract painting and called for art to engage and reflect the real world around us, as summed up in his statement: "For me, there’s no difference between art and life." |
