Robert Rauschenberg Early 1950s Exhibit Brochure 1992 Museum of Contemporary Art

Description: Robert Rauschenberg Early 1950s Exhibit Brochure 1992 Museum of Contemporary Art Feb 8, 1992 – Apr 19, 1992 9.5 x 5.5 inches – each page, unfolds to 9.5 x 22 inches. 6 color images. This exhibition is curated by Walter Hopps for the Menil Collection in Houston. ““Robert Rauschenberg: The Early 1950s” concentrates upon the artist’s activity between 1949, when he enrolled at Black Mountain College after a short apprenticeship in Paris, and 1954, when he embarked upon the most important series of works of his career, the combine paintings and constructions. In this respect, San Francisco’s version of the exhibition gains from the proximity of “Collection”, that important triptych of paint and collaged material belonging to the museum, in which Rauschenberg rehearsed the full range of the combined techniques which he would employ for the next ten years. The period covered by the exhibition is not entirely unknown to scholars and collectors. Twenty-five works including one blueprint monotype, two white paintings, four black paintings, a red painting, the “Automobile Tyre Print”, a collaboration with John Cage, and the celebrated “Erased de Kooning Drawing” prefaced the artist’s major touring retrospective organized by the Smithsonian Institute in 1976. Ten years later, in 1986, Larry Gagosian showed a selection of the White and the Black Paintings in his gallery in New York. But the present exhibition is more comprehensive and, with its accompanying monograph, reveals an even more precocious and diverse artist…” See my auctions of RARE photo and art catalogs, Chicago history, art deco, photography books, art and more!
