Robert Rauschenberg: Spreads 1975-83

The first UK exhibition dedicated to Robert Rauschenberg’s iconic Spreads series (1975-1983). Twelve key, large-scale works will be on view, encapsulating many of the artist’s best-known motifs and materials alongside an integral series of paper collages from the same period. Rauschenberg found inspiration for the series whilst preparing for an important mid-career retrospective in 1976: the artist revisited works he had not seen for up to 25 years, prompting what he described as ‘autobiographical feelings’, and imparting a retrospective aspect to his new works.
