When Robert Rauschenberg won the Venice Biennale's prize in 1964, 62 years ago, as the first American artist to do so, he championed the reception of new American art and at the same time established his worldwide fame.
For half a century, Rauschenberg broke with traditions in his work with risk and inventiveness, and fundamentally transformed the idea of the picture: now the entire life of art stood open.
In his paintings and sculptures, autobiographical moments appear, the flotsam of the metropolises, news from the sea of fictions and reality, which he contextualizes in densely woven, multilayered works. Rauschenberg's works absorb what has never before been seen in pictures.
Later he would once say: »The materials know that they and I are trying something together.« Consequently, there are no ennoblements in his works.
