Always a joy to meet a Rauschenberg #art #painting #collage #toronto
A Rauschenberg combine ROBERT RAUSCHENBERG born Port Arthur, Texas, United States, 1925 died Captiva, Florida, United States, 2008 Story 1964 mixed media on panel Purchased with assistance from the Women's Committee Fund, 1970 69/246 In 1954, Robert Rauschenberg developed a new style of art-making, which he called combines. His combine series (1954-1964) brings together aspects of painting and sculpture and includes found objects to create highly unique artworks. The combines were originally created as stage décor for performances by the experimental and influential Merce Cunningham Dance Company. A different stage set was created for each stop on the troupe's 1963 world tour of a performance called Story. The work seen here was made onstage over the course of a four-night stand at London's Phoenix Theatre in August 1964, and became one of the final combine works.
