One Fine Show: “Robert Rauschenberg, Fabric Works of the 1970s” at the Menil Collection
The exhibition explores an underexplored aspect of Robert Rauschenberg's practice, suited for our fashion-oriented times.
October marked the 100th anniversary of Robert Rauschenberg's birth, with celebratory exhibitions around the country.
A notable show, “Sympathy for Abandoned Objects,” at Gladstone Gallery, featured sculptures that felt more Dada than Pop, combining materials in absurd ways.
One piece, The Proof of Darkness (Kabal American Zephyr) (1981), combined a fire hose with an electric airport runway light, glowing haunting blue against a lead plate.
Gazing upon it felt like reading Robert Caro while watching Looney Tunes.
