Robert Rauschenberg: Life Can’t Be Stopped

This exhibition features over a dozen seminal works from the Guggenheim’s collection with key loans from the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation, which together highlight Robert Rauschenberg’s radical use of materials and media. Celebrating the artist’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 79 works the artist created between 1962 and 1964. This pivotal work returns to New York for the first time in nearly 25 years.
