Edward M Gomez, contributor to Art and Antiques Magazine, summarizes the essence of artist Robert Rauschenberg and gives context to the new exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, open now through September 17, 2017.
“Robert Rauschenberg: Among Friends” arrived at MoMA from Tate Modern in London, where it attracted a large, enthusiastic audience. In New York, the exhibition differs somewhat in form and content from its previous incarnation: There is more of an emphasis on Rauschenberg’s innovative activities both during the earlier and final phases of his six-decade-long career.
