Robert Rauschenberg's, “Studies for Chinese Summerhall,” form a series of twenty-eight photographs taken during the artist’s travels through China in 1982. While there, Rauschenberg took hundreds of photographs. Upon his return to the United States, Rauschenberg collaborated with Graphicstudio to collage fifty-two of the images into one 100-foot=long photograph titled, “Chinese Summerhall”. Before the individual negatives were trimmed and collaged, Rauschenberg made editions of a number of individual images. “Studies for Chinese Summerhall,” form two series, one series of eighteen, size 30 x 40 in and a second series of ten, size 24 x 30 in. Robert Rauschenberg (American 1925-2008) Robert Rauschenberg is often hailed as the first postmodern artist, famous for his work in the 1950s, in the period between Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art. During this time, Rauschenberg began to incorporate any material he could scavenge into his combines (sculptural collages) by incorporating found objects, traditional brush strokes, photographs, and any other materials he encountered. This interplay between materials defined Rauschenberg's entire career; he also experimented with silk screening and solvent transfers on a diverse selection of surfaces, as he explored the boundaries of traditional art forms and incorporated the vast visual offerings of American culture into his work. In 1998, the Vatican commissioned (and later refused) a work by Rauschenberg based on the Apocalypse for Renzo Piano’s pilgrimage church in Foggia, Italy. His work can be found in institutions worldwide, including the Museum of Modern Art, New York; The Guggenheim Museum, New York; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art, among others.
