We have 4 other plates in the set currently listed on our eBay shop 101greatfinds. About the artist: One of the most influential and innovative artists, Rauschenberg’s creative contributions drove artistic movements such as Abstract Expressionism and Neo-Dada, tirelessly toying with the boundary separating art and life and challenging the conventional notions of art as singular, isolated, and complete object. This limited edition set of six porcelain plates, designed exclusively for Rauschenberg’s largest retrospective at the Guggenheim Museum in 1997, each depicts a different photograph taken by the artist and bear a print of his signature on the back. Reappropriating images of urban spaces, abstract details, works of art, and cultural symbols, Rauschenberg subverts medium-specificity and modes of display, exacerbating the ambiguities of the photograph and its features as his work hinges on painting, sculpture, and photography, unapologetic in its ambiguity. Rauschenberg’s Guggenheim retrospective traveled to the Menil Collection, the Contemporary Arts Museum, and the Museum of Fine Arts all in Houston, as well as to Europe, with exhibitions at Museum Ludwig, Cologne, and the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao. Awarded the Grand Prize for painting at the Venice Biennale in 1964, Rauschenberg has been exhibited and celebrated worldwide. **Please visit our eBay store for more items and contact us for combined shipping: 101greatfinds** We are experienced, knowledgeable sellers of antique and vintage items for over 25 years and take pride in dealing only in authentic pieces.
