Began with Rauschenberg will be the next exhibition presented in the Fondazione Rolla exhibition space, Rolla.info - kindergarten.
On the occasion of the centenary of Robert Rauschenberg's birth and the Foundation's twenty-fifth exhibition, during its fifteenth year of activity, we will present eight works from the collection.
Philip and Rosella Rolla introduce this choice as follows:
1997, we visited the Rauschenberg Retrospective at the Guggenheim NY. We were taken by what we saw and desired an original work of his. By luck we met a friendly and honest dealer with an expertise in Rauschenberg who came up with a work which was everything we desired and at the limit of what we could afford. The work (Untitled, 1980) became part of our family, it was our first Rauschenberg, our first work together, and it had a soul. Along the way we acquired other Rauschenberg works and they all became family members.
On the occasion of the centennial of Robert Rauschenberg's birth we present these works with no pretences other than as a loved part of our story.
The catalog includes a text by Marco Franciolli.
