Robert Rauschenberg: Spreads 1975-83

Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac London, together with the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation, presents the first UK exhibition dedicated to the American artist’s remarkable Spreads, a series that occupies an important position in his oeuvre. The large-scale Spreads (1975–83) encapsulate many of Robert Rauschenberg’s best-known motifs and materials. Twelve key works from the series--the largest of which stretches to over six metres wide--will go on view at Ropac’s London gallery from 28 November 2018 [to 9 February 2019]. An integral series of paper collages from the same period will also be exhibited, incorporating fabrics and techniques that relate to the Spreads series. The accompanying exhibition catalogue, with an essay by Elisa Schaar ... is the first publication devoted to Rauschenberg’s Spreads. --Gallery website.
