Rauschenberg at Gagosian

Short Circuit (Combine Painting), 1955; Greenhouse (Combine), 1950; and Aen Floga (Combine Painting), 1962

Rauschenberg was at a time within the Pop Art, but he went beyond. For him what mattered was the answer to this question: can the relations between objects go beyond the obvious?

There is a Rauschenberg show at Gagosian these days. Go see it if you can. I would love to be in Chelsea to hang around on the 21st Street, to try some photos, and to write about them.

The images in this post are captured from a review of the show in today's NY Times.
