Robert Rauschenberg and Asia Major exhibition at M+ Museum opening November 2025

This exhibition brings together a selection of major works produced by Robert Rauschenberg (American, 1925–2008) during and in response to his time in Asia. An enthusiastic traveller, Rauschenberg was deeply impacted by the cultures with which he came into contact. His extended engagement with Japan began in the mid-1960s, and his residency in India in 1975 inspired new approaches to working with materials and colours. Following his first trip to China in 1982, he developed Rauschenberg Overseas Culture Interchange (ROCI), a global programme of travelling exhibitions and cultural dialogues. The M+ exhibition will open in November 2025 as part of global celebrations marking the centennial of the artist’s birth.
