Product Description
From the moment art historian Leo Steinberg championed his work in opposition to Clement Greenberg’s rigid formalism, Robert Rauschenberg has played a pivotal role in the development and understanding of postmodern art. Challenging nearly all the prevailing assumptions about the visual arts of his time, he pioneered the postwar revival of collage, photography, silkscreen, technology, and performance.This book focuses on Rauschenberg’s work during the critical period of the 1950s and 1960s. It opens with a newly prefaced version of Leo Steinberg’s "Reflections on the State of Criticism," the first published version of his famous 1972 essay, "Other Criteria," which remains the single most important text on Rauschenberg. Rosalind Krauss’s "Rauschenberg and the Materialized Image" builds on Steinberg’s essay, arguing that Rauschenberg’s work represents a decisive shift in contemporary art. Douglas Crimp’s "On the Museum’s Ruins" examines Rauschenberg’s silkscreens in the context of the modern museum. Helen Molesworth’s "Before Bed" uses psychoanalytic and economic structures to examine the artist’s Black Paintings of the early 1950s. A second essay by Krauss, "Perpetual Inventory," revisits both her and Steinberg’s articles of nearly twenty-five years earlier. Finally, Branden Joseph’s "A Duplication Containing Duplications" views Rauschenberg’s silkscreens in relation to the artist’s interests in technology, particularly television. ... Read more

Product Description
This book presents a comparative study of two pairs of collaborative artists who worked closely with one another. The first pair, Cézanne and Pissarro, contributed to the emergence of modern art. The second pair, Johns and Rauschenberg, contributed to the demise of modern art. In each case, the two artists entered into a rich and challenging artistic exchange and reaped enormous benefits from this interaction. Joachim Pissarro's comparative study suggests that these interactive dialogues were of great significance for each artist as well. ... Read more

Product Description
In 1969, Robert Rauschenberg was invited by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to witness the launch of the Apollo 11 mission to place man on the moon for the first time. At the end of a decade in which the war in Vietnam and social turmoil in America had left him disillusioned, this scientific and technological marvel gave the artist new hope for the future. That year, in response to the Apollo 11 achievement, and in collaboration with the Gemini GEL print workshop, Rauschenberg created the Stoned Moon series--the title reflecting both the lithographic medium and the moon mission.

This publication includes the full Stoned Moon series of 35 lithographs and discusses them in the context of the Apollo 11 mission as well as Rauschenberg's experimental and groundbreaking printmaking techniques.

Product Description
Over the course of his entire career, Robert Rauschenberg dedicated works to only five other artists: John Cage, Merce Cunningham, Marcel Duchamp, Jasper Johns, and the Swiss artist Jean Tinguely. The practices of Tinguely and Rauschenberg, both of whom were born in 1925, intersected kinetically during a few pivotal years in the early 1960s. In a 1960 exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art in New York, just weeks after Tinguely arrived in New York for the first time, the Swiss artist presented "Homage to New York," a self-destructing mass of metal to which Rauschenberg contributed a toaster that flung silver dollars at the audience. The two men joined forces on several more artistic projects, despite their aesthetic differences: Rauschenberg once remarked of Tinguely, "He liked mechanical things such as engines; I preferred hedonistic things such as bathtubs." Robert Rauschenberg & Jean Tinguely: Collaborations documents this productive friendship. ... Read more
