In celebration of the publication 'Robert Rauschenberg Photographs 1949-1962' (Published by D.A.P./Schirmer/Mosel), the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation will showcase rolling images selected from the book. Painter, sculptor, printmaker and photographer Rauschenberg (1925-2008) provided a crucial bridge between Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art. Rauschenberg's engagement with photography began in the late 1940s under the tutelage of Hazel Larsen Archer at Black Mountain College in North Carolina. This publication includes portraits of friends such as Cy Twombly, Jasper Johns, Merce Cunningham and John Cage, studio shots, photographs used in the Combines and Silkscreen paintings, photographs of lost artworks and works in process. The images can be viewed from the street between 12 noon and 9pm. (Image: Bob + Cy, Venice, 1952).
