This month marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of the influential American artist Robert Rauschenberg (1925-2008). To mark the occasion, more than half a dozen shows have been organised around the world, led by the New York-based Robert Rauschenberg Foundation.
Rauschenberg's radial use of media imagery and commercial printing techniques led critics to associate him with Pop artists such as Andy Warhol. Like Warhol, Rauschenberg was also enamored with contemporary culture.
