Rauschenberg and the Novecento

Concomitantly with the hundredth anniversary of Robert Rauschenberg’s birth (1925–2008), the Museo del Novecento of Milan presents a major exhibition project that aims to create a bridge between the works conceived by the American artist, who was a key figure of international art history, and some of the most meaningful masterpieces on display in the Museum, weaving a plot between the experimental vision of the New Dada master and the refreshed gallery spaces hosting the Museum’s permanent collection. With the consultancy of the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation, the curators have designed an exhibition path that includes eight selected works from Rauschenberg’s production from the 1970s and 1980s, unveiling thematic affinities, formal connections, and concept analogies.
