Tickets available at tinyurl.com/mwsrhds8 Collection in Focus | Robert Rauschenberg: Life Can’t Be Stopped features over a dozen seminal works from the Guggenheim’s collection along with major loans from the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation, which together highlight the artist’s radical use of materials and media. Celebrating Rauschenberg’s 100th birthday, the show joins a global tribute to Rauschenberg’s boundary-pushing creativity, experimental spirit, and lasting impact on contemporary art. The centerpiece of the exhibition is Barge (1962–63), a monumental 32-foot-long silkscreen painting made predominantly over a 24-hour period and the largest in a series of approximately 80 Silkscreen Paintings works the artist created between 1962 and 1964. This pivotal work returns to New York for the first time in nearly 25 years. This exhibition is organized by Joan Young, Senior Director, Curatorial Affairs.
