Publisher's Synopsis
The first US artist to win the Golden Lion at the Venice Biennale in 1963, Robert Rauschenberg blazed a new trail for art in the second half of the 20th century. Bringing together a selection of key works from different periods, the book will provide a long overdue opportunity to discover a remarkably consistent artistic trajectory which steadfastly refused to be straight-jacketed by rules and conventions. Each chapter in Rauschenberg's six-decade career will be represented by major works. This book collects 14 essays focusing on key moments in Rauschenberg's oeuvre.
