Three key works by Robert Rauschenberg will go on show at Tate Modern in London as part of a new display devoted to the influential late US sculptor (20 September-December 2027). The sculptures were donated by the Robert Rauschenberg foundation to the Artist Rooms collection, which is jointly shared by Tate and the National Galleries of Scotland (NGS).<\/p>\n

The three pieces donated to Artist Rooms are part of a series called Gluts: G-I Glut\u00a0(1986), Rasputin’s Revenge Early Winter Glut\u00a0(1987) and Mobile Cluster Glut (Neapolitan) (1987). The works reflect the rise of consumer culture, with Rauschenberg commenting that \u201cit\u2019s a time of glut. Greed is rampant. I\u2019m just trying to expose it, trying to wake people up.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThese three Gluts, forged from the remnants of a particular moment, ask us to look squarely at what we value and what we discard. Collaboration and intentionality were central to the artist\u2019s ethos,\u201d said Courtney J. Martin, executive director of the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation, in a statement.<\/p>\n

According to Thaddaeus Ropac gallery, which co-represents the foundation, The Gluts\u00a0represent one of \u201cRauschenberg\u2019s earliest forays into a new material, metal, in the form of found objects assembled and riveted together to create wall reliefs and freestanding sculptures.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Artist Rooms founding collection was established through The d’Offay Donation in 2008 from London art dealer Anthony d\u2019Offay, with support from the National Heritage Memorial Fund, Art Fund and the Scottish and British Governments.<\/p>\n

Although described by the Tate as a \u201cdonation\u201d, the collection was offered as a tax efficient sale\/gift hybrid and d\u2019Offay was paid \u00a326.5m for 725 works valued at \u00a3125m (both Tate and NGS permanently cut ties<\/a> with d\u2019Offay in 2020\u00a0relating to sexual harassment allegations from 2018, which he denies).<\/p>\n

Gregor Muir, Tate\u2019s collection director, stresses that works in the Artist Rooms collection are not only shown in Tate and the National Galleries of Scotland\u2019s own galleries but are also made available to art organisations across the UK.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Three key works by Robert Rauschenberg will go on show at Tate Modern in London as part of…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":934423,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[32],"tags":[8390,648,1032,1033,171,220763,199847,376698,95952,67,132,68],"class_list":["post-934422","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-arts-and-design","tag-acquisitions","tag-arts","tag-arts-and-design","tag-design","tag-entertainment","tag-national-galleries-of-scotland","tag-robert-rauschenberg","tag-robert-rauschenberg-foundation","tag-tate-modern","tag-united-states","tag-unitedstates","tag-us"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/934422","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=934422"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/934422\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/934423"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=934422"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=934422"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=934422"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
