Robert Rauschenberg: Image and Gesture Exhibition at Kunsthalle Krems

Robert Rauschenberg: Image and Gesture at Kunsthalle Krems is the first monographic museum exhibition dedicated to the artist in Austria, presenting a survey of about 50 works, mainly paintings, drawings, and prints. The focus of the show lies in the combination of image and gesture in Rauschenberg’s work, using photographic materials from newspapers, magazines, and the artist’s archive for a painterly and graphically gestural transformation on the picture plane. The show will be accompanied by film and video material of Rauschenberg’s performative and collaborative art (Pelican, 1963; Open Score, 1966) as well as Art and Technology projects like the Revolvers series (1967) and works related to global social activism (ROCI, 1984–91).
