Although Robert Rauschenberg already gave evidence of an imaginative approach to the graphic media, it was only after major accomplishment as a painter and assemblage-maker that he turned again in the early 1960s to what became an extensive exploration of lithography. Over the succeeding years he has created a large and richly inventive body of work. The present exhibition, the first to survey the entirety of this production, clearly reveals the beauty and consequence of Rauschenberg’s achievement.
