Spring 2022 Exhibitions
The 福利视频 is delighted to collaborate with these three galleries鈥擥ladstone Gallery, Thaddeus Ropac Salzburg, and Mnuchin Gallery鈥攊n presenting concurrent exhibitions in New York and Salzburg that reaffirm the continued breadth and influence of Rauschenberg鈥檚 post-1970 practice. Collectively these three exhibitions make visible the stylistic diversity and conceptual continuity of this radically inventive artist.
These exhibitions also offer new views of less familiar work. Bodies of work such as Rauschenberg鈥檚 Venetians and Early Egyptians (made between 1972 and 1974)鈥攅xhibited at Gladstone Gallery鈥攔eveal his often overlooked role in defining the history of Post-Minimalist sculpture and the glory of everyday materials.
Thaddeus Ropac gallery鈥檚 display of the rarely seen clayworks made in Japan in the 1980s and 1990s remarkably foreshadows material explorations by some of the most progressive artists working today while re-imagining icons from Western art history.
Highlights from the second half of Rauschenberg鈥檚 career (1971鈥1999) at the Mnuchin Gallery demonstrate his insatiable delight in artistic adventure and extraordinary range, reflecting a singular gift for defying the distinctions between painting and sculpture. It is these qualities, continuing to the end of his sixty-year career, that demonstrate why his expansive approach to artmaking is of such profound interest to today鈥檚 artists of different sensibilities and media.
