ROBERT RAUSCHENBERG: A RETROSPECTIVE
(RAUSCHENBERG, ROBERT). Hopps, Walter, Susan Davidson, Trisha Brown, Ruth E. Fine, Billy Kluver and Julie Martin, Rosalind Krauss, Steve Paxton, Nancy Spector & Charles F. Stuckey. New York: The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, 1997. First Edition. 4to. Cloth in Illustrated Jacket. Artist Monograph. Fine/Near Fine. 632pp, 547 color and 237 b&w illustrations. Designed by Don Quaintance, Public Address Design. With a chronology, exhibition history, performance history and bibliography. This massive catalogue was published to document the extraordinary 1997 Robert Rauschenberg retrospective organized by the Guggenheim that subsequently traveled to Houston, Koln, and Bilbao. Breathtaking in both its scope and execution, it stands as the most comprehensive exhibition to date of the artist's oeuvre. From his earliest skewering of Abstract Expressionism through the transfer works of the mid-nineties, it embraces nearly a half-century his work in all media and provides contextual essays by Susan Davidson, Trisha Brown, Ruth E. Fine, Billy Kluver and Julie Martin, Rosalind Krauss, Steve Paxton, Nancy Spector, and Charles F. Stuckey, as well as copious photographic documentation. A most handsome example of the hardbound first printing of this important document.
