This is the first major exhibition of Robert Rauschenberg’s work in the UK for 35 years and the first retrospective of the artist since his death in 2008. A Texan artist with a passion for the world, Rauschenberg refused to accept conventional categories of what was and wasn’t art. Iconic works from his six decade career include large-scale pop art screen prints picturing the likes of JF Kennedy; Monogram, a paint splattered taxidermy goat in a car tyre surrounded by street signs; and Bed, soiled sheets spattered with brushmarks.
