Robert Rauschenberg (b. 1925) is a key figure in the ascendance of American art during the decades following World War II. Rauschenberg's early combinations of paint and found objects (labeled "combines" by the artist) would help propel him into the ranks of the most important international artists of the 1950s and 1960s. This catalog accompanies an exhibition traveling internationally through 2007. While the exhibition includes 67 works, the catalog assembles 174, and represents the first complete survey of Rauschenberg's combines. The four accompanying essays focus on the combines and contextualize them across the decade of their creation (1953-64). The full inventory and exhibition histories of the combines are invaluable, as is the selected bibliography, but it is the beautiful full-color, full-page reproductions that rightly take center stage. This is the most substantial and important exhibition catalog devoted to Rauschenberg since his Guggenheim retrospective of 1999. Recommended for all libraries that collect American and contemporary art.-Kraig Binkowski, Yale Ctr. for British Art Lib. (Kraig Binkowski, Yale Ctr. for British Art Lib. LIbrary Journal )
Poetic and lush, Robert Rauschenberg's Combines present layers of complex and sometimes conflicting information. This approach, first explored by Rauschenberg in the early 1950s, proved prescient and has become increasingly relevant in the current age of cascading information, when even the most ground-breaking artists are referencing and sampling disparate elements to create new forms. The Combines suggest the fragility of definitions, the fluidity of materials, and the complexity of forms that are characteristic of Rauschenberg's works. The artist's handling of materials provides a precise physical evolutionary link between the painterly qualities of Abstract Expressionism and iconographical, subject-driven early Pop Art. This book focuses on the works created roughly between 1954 and 1964, the most important decade in the artist's 50-year career, and constitutes the most complete survey of the Combines ever presented, as well as the most rigorous analysis of their political, social, autobiographical, and aesthetic significance. An introductory essay by exhibition curator Paul Schimmel titled "Reading Rauschenberg" offers an iconographic analysis of the earlier Combines, based on in-depth conversations with the artist. Other texts help to contextualize the Combines, such as Thomas Crow's essay that calls them the major artistic statement of their time, and the one body of art that could simultaneously hold its own from De Kooning to Pop art. Edited and introduction by Paul Schimmel. Essays by Thomas Crow, Branden Joseph, Charles F. Stuckey and Jean-Paul Ameline. Afterword by Pontus Hülten. Clothbound, 9.75 x 12.25 in./324 pgs / 172 color.

四篇essay都非常精彩!Minutiae的case study,biographical+iconographical reading的正名,black market導嚮的對Combines媒介論式的解讀。第三篇指齣的iconophilia-iconophobia的辯證法發人深思,揭示的同樣是Rauschenberg與AE的復雜關係以及“flatbed”構建的目的性。pre時候和Gavin討論到art&politics,他強調的purpose也應該以allegorisation的張力過程理解,同時意識到自己直到現在纔看到這一內在矛盾。最後一篇Joseph繼續關聯film/cinema/tv從而看到R對spectacle的復雜態度(絕對不是全然的courtship!可惜應該不會展開這部分瞭。
