Robert Rauschenberg Venetians and Early Egyptians 1972-1974

New and sealed This catalogue was published on the occasion of the exhibition Robert Rauschenberg: Venetians and Early Egyptians, at Gladstone Gallery in 2022. In collaboration with the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation, Gladstone presents an exhibition of rarely seen sculptural works from the height of Rauschenberg’s oeuvre. Spread across Gladstone’s Chelsea galleries, this show reveals Rauschenberg’s significant place in helping to define the history of post-Minimalist sculpture, seeing beyond what others decided should be the limits of art. From the start, Rauschenberg was an artist who pushed beyond the traditional idea of working in a single medium. Reminiscent of his found-object Combines of the 1950s and 1960s, the Venetian and Early Egyptian series blur the line between sculpture and painting, between waste and conservation, and between everyday objects and artworks. This exhibition at Gladstone was one of the first focused exhibitions on these works since their debut at Leo Castelli gallery in 1972 and 1973.
