"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."
"Based on a series of interviews conducted for The New Yorker, this biography provides such an enjoyable journey through Rauschenberg's life. An astute art historian, Tomkins brings great insight to the importance of the art."
"Fabric is an understudied medium in the history of Modern art and Bryan-Wilson illuminates its importance in the 1970s. She argues that cloth, through its malleability and softness, is political, and fundamental to understanding why so many artists-thinking through ideas of gender and spaces outside of masculine-oriented histories-turned to it."
Robert Rauschenberg's 100th birth anniversary is being commemorated with more than half a dozen exhibitions worldwide led by the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation. Exhibitions focus on varied aspects of his life and work, from relationships with contemporaries to experimentation with materials. The Museum Ludwig and the Menil Collection present shows that emphasize collaborative networks and fabric-based practices from the 1970s. Michelle White, senior curator at the Menil, identifies five key books that illuminate Rauschenberg's biography, the political implications of textile use, and the fruitful collaborations among Cage, Cunningham, Johns and Twombly.
