Robert Rauschenberg is an American artist who came to prominence in the 1950s, and is often seen as enabling a transition from Abstract Expressionism to the media-saturated surfaces of Pop. He studied at the Kansas City Art Institute and the Académie Julian in Paris France, before enrolling in 1948 at the legendary Black Mountain College in North Carolina. He is perhaps most famous for his Combines of the 1950s, in which all kinds of non-traditional materials and objects were employed in rich and innovative combinations. Rauschenberg worked with painting, sculpture, photography, printmaking, paper making, performance, and a method of drawing known as ?solvent transfer.’ In 1964 he was the first American artist to win the Grand Prize at the Venice Biennale, and since then he has enjoyed a rare degree of institutional support.
