Robert Rauschenberg's Gagosian exhibition and Hiroko Ikegami's book examine his global impact and inclusive art-making
The Gagosian Gallery in New York City hosted an exhibition of Robert Rauschenberg's work from October 29, 2010, to January 15, 2011. This showcase featured pieces such as Untitled (Venetian) (1973), Untitled (Early Egyptian) (1974), Vow (Jammer) (1976), The White Paintings (1951), Palladian Xmas (Spread) (1980), Rainbow Harp (Roci Tibet) (1984), and Watchdog (2007). Hiroko Ikegami's 2010 publication, 'The Great Migrator,' examines Rauschenberg's global artistic journey. John Richardson remarked on Rauschenberg's forward-looking perspective, which highlighted his inclusive approach, setting him apart from artists like Cornell and Duchamp. Notably, Rauschenberg created over six thousand works, famously stating, 'Screwing things up is a virtue.' Meanwhile, Castelli Gallery featured 'Jasper Johns: Drawing Over' from November 6 to December 18, 2010.
