Poster House members are invited to a special tour of the acclaimed exhibition Robert Rauschenberg’s New York: Pictures from the Real World at the Museum of the City of New York. This tour will be jointly led by Isometric Studios, the team behind the exhibition’s design, and MCNY curator Sean Corcoran. Rauchenberg is widely regarded as one of the most influential artists of the postwar era. His irreverent approach to art-making reshaped the art world in New York and well beyond it for an entire generation. At the heart of his practice was a desire to incorporate the tangible world around him into his art. Gathering materials and inspiration from his surroundings, he often brought found objects and images sourced or reproduced from magazines and newspapers into his paintings and sculptures. But Rauschenberg was not merely a user of found imagery; he was also a photographer with a bold creative vision—and photography became an essential aspect of his artistic practice, one that is the focus of this exhibition. This tour takes place at the Museum of the City of New York, 1220 Fifth Ave at 103rd St., New York, NY 10029.
