This book collects the complete posters of the famed artist Robert Rauschenberg, in one beautiful volume. Poster-making was well suited to Robert Rauschenberg's artistic temperament. The socially conscious artist appreciated the democratic aspects of reaching out to a wide audience and the opportunity to collaborate with printmakers. Rauschenberg's trademark collage aesthetic, which combines text and imagery, is evident in much of his poster production. A comprehensive volume of Rauschenberg's oeuvre, this beautiful book includes posters for the artist's exhibitions; cultural events in the worlds of dance and music; and important political and social causes. Ninety of Rauschenberg's most important posters are featured in full-page illustrations, while the illustrated catalog contains detailed entries of more than 220 works.
