Offer Waterman, in association with Jonathan O’Hara New York, is
delighted to announce the forthcoming exhibition Robert Rauschenberg,
Transfer Drawings from the 1950s and 1960s.
About
The exhibition is the first in
the UK devoted to this rarely seen aspect of his work, and coincides with
the major retrospective of Rauschenberg at Tate Modern this winter.
Regarded as among the most influential and iconoclastic artists of his
day, Rauschenberg’s best known work is characterised by a fascination
with and appropriation of contemporary media, which can be seen
throughout the transfer drawings. Whilst the drawings anticipate his
silkscreen paintings of 1962 – 64, they are also amongst Rauschenberg’s
most original and playful works and represent a true innovation in the
history of drawing technique.
