Robert Rauschenberg, born in Texas a century ago, became a pivotal figure in Pop art and is being honored globally by museums and galleries. The Guggenheim Museum will present an influential exhibition from October 2025 to April 2026, titled 'Robert Rauschenberg: Life Can't Be Stopped.' This exhibition will display over a dozen significant works, including the iconic silkscreen painting 'Barge.' The collection, which combines Rauschenberg's creative experiments and transfer techniques, aims to reflect contemporary culture, resonating with his belief that 'life can't be stopped.'
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.
Among the highlights of the Guggenheim show is the 32-foot-long silkscreen painting 'Barge,' mostly created over a 24-hour period in the early 1960s.
The show will feature more than a dozen historic pieces, including Rauschenberg's monumental painting 'Barge,' which reflects the artist's radical legacy.
As he once said to an interviewer, 'I want paintings to be reflections of life, and life can't be stopped.'
