Zoumboulakis Galleries present the limited edition multiples of Robert Rauschenberg. The exhibition will last from April 27 to May 13, 2017.

Robert Rauschenberg, an iconic American artist of the 20th century, collaborated with many pioneering artists, scientists, dancers, composers and activists and he created multifaceted and polymorphous artworks that praised the everyday and the ephemeral.

The multiples exhibited in Zoumboulakis Galleries, are part of the collections Bones & Unions, Horsefeathers Thirteen Series and Hoarfrost Editions created by the artists at the Gemini G.E.L.lab during the 70s. These works have been exhibited at Zoumboulakis Galleries for the first time in 1977.

Rauschenberg’s belief in the power of art to set in motion positive social change was the central drive of his involvement in many international art happenings and shows. During the 70’ and 80’, the artist worked with makers of handmade paper in France, India and China. In his travels he accumulated a vast amount of varied materials aiming to use them in his work. As a result his work embodied a deep understanding of different cultures and a unique mix of images and materials. A characteristic sample of this process is the Bones & Unions series, made by a mixture of mud and paper pulp along with other spices that engulf the artworks in a distinct curry aroma.

The importance of the original multiple editions has been promoted by Zoumboulakis Galleries through its collaboration with Gemini G.E.L.

The artwork Domicile, (1996) is part of the U.S. Embassy of Athens collection and will be presented for the first time.
