A survey of Robert Rauschenberg’s innovative use of cloth in the 1970s and its significance in the artist’s oeuvre.
Centering on a period of Robert Rauschenberg’s career that has not received much attention, this book focuses on three series by the artist that feature fabric: the idiosyncratic Venetians, 1972–73; the gauzy Hoarfrosts, 1974–76; and the large, simple Jammers, 1975–76. Fascinated by the expressive potential of textiles, including silks, gauze, cheesecloth, and drop cloths, Rauschenberg experimented with the ability of woven materials to capture color and light, hold printed images, and move in the air. Hardcover, 248 pages.
