From 1967 through 2001, Robert Rauschenberg produced more than 250 different prints at Gemini G.E.L. Rauschenberg transformed what a "print" multiple was, not only in scale, but in how variable one print in a single edition could be from another and in how many physical dimensions it could have.  He also pioneered the concept of how many media a single multiple could involve and how the viewer could interact with the multiple and make it different. No other artist has pushed the boundaries of printmaking as much as Rauschenberg. This new exhibition features 51 of these stunning artworks plus more than 20 photographs of Rauschenberg at work at Gemini. His most famous prints, print series, and multiples are included, such as Booster, the artist's famous X-ray self-portrait and his first print at Gemini. Monumental lithographs from the Stoned Moon series, based on the American Apollo Moon exploration program are also represented. The exhibition includes his innovative Cardbird Door prints from his two handmade paper series in the 1970s, as well as his three-dimensional editions Publicons, Sling-Shots Lit series, and the Borealis Shares series. An extensive color-illustrated catalogue accompanies the exhibition, and includes an essay by exhibition curator Jay Belloli on Rauschenberg's work at Gemini G.E.L. The exhibition was organized by the Armory Center for the Arts, Pasadena. Exhibition tour management by Landau Traveling Exhibitions, Los Angeles. The Palm Springs Art Museum presentation is funded in part by the museum's Contemporary Art Council, Annette Bloch, and the Terra Foundation for American Art on behalf of board member, Gloria Scoby, with additional support from Barbara and Jerry Keller.
