AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Original exhibition poster “Centennial Certificate” from 1970, published on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Metropolitan Museum of Art (MMA) in New York.

The poster was signed in the bottom center with a silver marker by Robert Rauschenberg.

Publisher: Telamon Editions Limited.

The layered composition fuses photographs, historical artworks, architecture, sculptures, and handwritten texts into a vivid image collage. As is typical for Rauschenberg’s work, different visual worlds, printing techniques, and cultural references merge into a dynamic composition in which the past and present converse with one another. The transparently overlaid color fields in blue, red, and yellow give the piece additional depth and an extraordinary visual dynamism.

The work is finely framed and presented in a custom-made, handcrafted wooden frame with Plexiglas Optical HC. Framed approx. 106 x 76 cm.

Robert Rauschenberg (1925–2008) counts among the most influential American artists of the 20th century. With his revolutionary “Combines,” in which painting, sculpture, photography, and everyday objects are fused together, he significantly shaped the development of Pop Art, Conceptual Art, and Mixed Media. His experimental approach to materials and printing techniques made him one of the most innovative artists of his generation.
His works are in the collections of major museums worldwide, including the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Centre Pompidou in Paris, and the Tate Modern in London.
