Description
Robert Rauschenberg: A Revolutionary Artist Calvin Tomkins first discovered Robert Rauschenberg's work in the late 1950s and has since dedicated his career to writing about contemporary art. This biography chronicles Rauschenberg's pivotal role in the radical changes that transformed advanced visual art into a powerful force in the world. From his collaborations with Merce Cunningham and John Cage, to his influence on both abstract expressionism and pop art, Rauschenberg was at the forefront of a revolution that brought artists out of galleries and museums and into the social scene. This book features a wide range of artists and figures from the 1950s and 1960s, including Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, Jasper Johns, Frank Stella, Andy Warhol, Betty Parsons, Leo Castelli, and Peggy Guggenheim. Tomkins's stylish and witty portrait of Rauschenberg is a fascinating and enlightening look at one of America's most original and inspiring artists.
