Robert Rauschenberg (born 1925) has made posters since 1963, valuing the medium of posters as a means of announcing his own exhibitions, advertising concerts and dance productions, and addressing social and political issues. In all he has produced about one hundred and forty posters. The image on this poster incorporates an eclectic variety of visual material, which in characteristic style, he has assembled without the imposition of any discernible narrative. Across this lithographed collage he announces the exhibition in his bold, free-flowing hand.
