Tate Modern’s major exhibition of the work of Robert Rauschenberg (1925-2008), organised in collaboration with The Museum of Modern Art in New York, will be the first posthumous retrospective and the most comprehensive survey of the artist’s work for 20 years.

紐約現代藝術博物館(MoMA)和倫敦泰特現代藝術館聯合推出了羅伯特·勞森伯格(1925-2008)逝世後的首次大型回顧展,長達20年系統調查了藝術家的畢生創作。

The first US artist to win the Golden Lion at the Venice Biennale in 1963, Robert Rauschenberg blazed a new trail for art in the second half of the twentieth century. Moving between painting, sculpture, photography, print-making, technology, stage design and performance, he refused to accept conventional boundaries in art and in life, his quest for innovation fired by his openness to the world, his enthusiasm for collaboration and his passion for travel.

在1963年的威尼斯雙年展上,勞森伯格成為首位贏得金獅獎的美國藝術家,為二十世紀下半葉的藝術界開闢了一條全新的路徑。 遊走於繪畫、雕塑、攝影、印刷、技術、舞台設計和表演之間的他拒絕接受藝術和生活的傳統界限,他開闊的眼界,豐富而富有激情的合作方式和遊歷經驗成就了他對創新的追求。

Each chapter of Rauschenberg’s six-decade career will be represented by major international loans that rarely travel. Among there is a selection of his iconic Combines, hybrids between painting and sculpture, which include Monogram 1955-59, travelling to the UK for the first time in over half a century, and Bed 1955. Tate Modern will also show the signature silkscreen paintings which signalled Rauschenberg’s early commitment to political activism, including Retroactive II 1964, which portrays John F. Kennedy, who had recently been assassinated.

本次展覽匯集了全球重要機構的珍藏,觀眾可以一飽眼福勞森伯格六十年職業生涯中非常罕見的代表作品。 其中包括他標誌性“混合體”系列——繪畫和雕塑之間的組合,例如《字母組合( 1955-59)》,這是他在過去半個多世紀第一次踏足英國領土後的創作,和《床(1955年)》。泰特也將呈現他的絲印畫作品系列,這代表了早期的勞森伯格對政治活動的態度,其中包括《追溯II(1964年)》描繪了早前遭遇暗殺的約翰·肯尼迪。

The exhibition will begin by considering Rauschenberg’s early experiments at Black Mountain College, a hotbed for innovation in the late 1940s and early 1950s where he embarked on his first collaborations with fellow artists and friends John Cage, Merce Cunningham, Jasper Johns, David Tudor, Cy Twombly and Susan Weil. This time lead to his seminal Erased de Kooning Drawing in 1953, which paid tribute to the achievements of abstract expressionism as much as it tested the limits of what art could be.The artist’s work with Experiments in Art and Technology (E.A.T), an organisation of which he was a founder and which developed collaborations between artists and engineers in the 1960s, will be explored, showing how he helped to blur the boundaries between the visual arts, performance and science.

In the early 1970s Rauschenberg moved his studio and primary residence to Captiva, Florida and began to travel extensively across Europe, the Americas and Asia. His Cardboards 1971-2 – a wry comment on the forces of globalisation – and his sumptuous fabric works such as The Jammers 1975-6 – inspired by his visit to the Indian textile centre of Ahmedabad – demonstrate his skilful play with unconventional materials. The epic project Rauschenberg Overseas Culture Interchange (ROCI), a travelling exhibition which took place between 1984 and 1991 taking in Chile, China, Cuba and Tibet, will also feature.

Performance and dance remained key interests for Rauschenberg and will form a central strand of the exhibition, as will his interest in pushing the limits of image-making with new materials such as printing on translucent textiles, polished steel or oxydised copper. A striking group of late inkjet paintings, combining dozens of images taken at home and abroad through the use of digital technology, will reveal how he continued to innovate right into the twenty-first century.

Robert Rauschenberg is organised by Tate Modern and The Museum of Modern Art, New York. It is curated by Achim Borchardt-Hume, Director of Exhibitions, Tate Modern; and Leah Dickerman, The Marlene Hess Curator of Painting and Sculpture, The Museum of Modern Art, New York. The exhibition will travel to The Museum of Modern Art in New York and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art in 2017.
