Since 1963 Robert Rauschenberg has used the medium of poster art to announce his own exhibitions, advertize concerts and dance productions, and to address social and political issues, such as the environment, apartheid and international understanding. In all he has produced a body of some 140 posters. This publication unites 60 of the artist's finest works, from all phases of his stylistic development. One of the pioneers and leading exponents of Pop Art, Robert Rauschenberg has experimented with and often blurred the boundaries between a variety of media such as painting, object art, photography and print. His mature poster work from the 1970s onwards displays a dynamic technique of composition and plays with several levels of meaning, often addressing the subject in a surprising, oblique manner. Rauschenberg employs a collage principle that lends an unusual irony to everyday images and photographs.
