Artist Robert Rauschenberg dead at 82

BROOKLYN, NEW YORK, May 14 – Pop Art Pioneer artist Robert Rauschenberg has died of heart failure. He was 82.

Born Milton Ernest Rauschenberg, he briefly attended the University of Texas at Austin in 1943 and served in the U.S. Navy during World War II prior to studying art. Upon being honorably discharged in the summer of 1945, Rauschenberg enrolled at the Kansas City Art Institute (1947) and later at the Academia Julien in Paris (1948) before studying with Josef Albers at Black Mountain College in North Carolina, where he formed life-long friendships with John Cage, Merce Cunningham and David Tudor. After moving to New York City in 1949, Rauschenberg enrolled in the Arts Students League. In the spring of 1951, Rauschenberg was invited to exhibit at the Betty Parsons Gallery in New York City. Two years later he created the first of his acclaimed Combine sculptures, works that incorporated painting and a variety of found objects. The juxtaposition of different media (lithography, painting, photography, silk-screening and sculpture) and their interplay comprise Rauschenberg's chief interests, and throughout his career, his work has been marked by a sense of experimentation and chance. During the 1950s, Rauschenberg also began his lifelong involvement and affiliation with theatre and dance, designing sets and costumes for a variety of productions worldwide. At the time of his death Texas native was a painter, photographer, printmaker, choreographer, onstage performer, set designer and a composer

Robert Rauschenberg's boundless experimentation and his rich collaborations with talented printers are all on display at www.rareposters.com . The website presents 53 outstanding posters and prints, including some never before seen in a museum, all available for purchase. "I'm curious" he said in 1997 in one of the few interviews he granted in later years. It's very rewarding. I'm still discovering things every day." Rauschenberg's more than 50 years in art produced a varied and prolific collection that showed America that all of life could be open to art. ... Rauschenberg didn't give a fig for consistency, or curating his reputation; his taste was always omnivorous, and hit-or-miss, yet he had a bigness of soul and a richness of temperament that recalled Walt Whitman. Rauschenberg split his time between New York and Captiva Island in Florida, where he kept a house stocked with his own art and those of his friends.

"We are fortunate to have more than 50 posters and prints by Robert Rauschenberg in its collection," said Bernard Rougerie, president and founder of Rare Posters, Inc, "Our website features the lithographs, screenprints, and intaglios of an artist who has sustained extraordinary creative powers across more than five decades and who has launched printmaking in new directions through his experiments in collaborative workshop environments."
Prices for the Robert Rauschenberg pieces on www.rareposters.com range from under $50 to over $3000 for a signed limited edition.



Rauschenberg is survived by his son Christopher and companion Darryl Pottorf.
