ABOUT THE ARTIST Robert Rauschenberg was an American artist who is widely recognized as one of the most important figures in the development of contemporary art in the 20th century. Born on October 22, 1925 in Port Arthur, Texas, Rauschenberg's early years were spent in a working-class family with limited means. Despite this, he showed an early talent for art and was encouraged by his mother to pursue his passion. After serving in the U.S. Navy during World War II, Rauschenberg attended the Kansas City Art Institute and the Académie Julian in Paris, where he was exposed to the work of the European avant-garde. He later studied at Black Mountain College in North Carolina, where he came into contact with artists such as John Cage, Merce Cunningham, and Willem de Kooning, all of whom had a profound influence on his artistic development. In the 1950s, Rauschenberg emerged as a leading figure in the emerging movement of Abstract Expressionism, which sought to break away from the traditional conventions of representational art. His "Combines" series, which he began in 1954, marked a departure from pure abstraction and combined elements of painting, sculpture, and found objects. This approach challenged the boundaries of what art could be and paved the way for the development of Pop Art and other avant-garde movements that followed. Throughout his career, Rauschenberg continued to push the boundaries of traditional art forms, incorporating new media and techniques into his work. He was known for his use of non-traditional materials, such as newspaper clippings, photographs, and other found objects, as well as his experiments with silkscreen printing and digital imaging. In addition to his innovative approach to art, Rauschenberg was also a prominent activist and philanthropist. He was a vocal advocate for human rights and social justice, and his work often addressed issues such as racism, poverty, and environmentalism. He also established the Rauschenberg Foundation, which provides grants and support to artists and organizations working in a wide range of fields. Rauschenberg's work has been exhibited in museums and galleries around the world, and he received numerous awards and honors throughout his career, including the National Medal of Arts in 1993. He died on May 12, 2008, at the age of 82, leaving behind a legacy of artistic innovation and social engagement that continues to inspire and influence artists today.

  • Andrés Nagel - UNTITLED 4 Etching & Collage Spanish Contemporary Conceptualism
    Located in Madrid, Madrid
    Andrés Nagel - UNTITLED 4 Date of creation: 1991 Medium: Etching and collage on paper Edition: 75 Size: 98 x 69 cm Condition: In very good conditions and never framed Observations: Etching and collage on paper signed by the artist and numbered edition of 75. As the result of his own experiences, training and life lived, comes out the art of Andres Nagel. Unclassifiable in a particular style, there are many who tried to tag his work as oneiric or surrealist. Even he has been labelled as a Pop artist, by the use of newspapers on his collages, like it happens on this print. According to Nagel, all these attempts of caging the artists are vane, as "even though art is being sold as if, it is not for mass consumerism". This is, the viewer must let go, think and open his or her mind to what is being seen, and mass culture is just the opposite of that. ABOUT THE ARTIST Andrés Nagel Tejada is a Spanish painter, sculptor and printmaker born in San Sebastian in 1947. Nagel completed his studies in architecture in 1972 in Pamplona. During this time as a student he began to work in engraving techniques. Since then he starts to travel to other European countries and the north of Africa. The Spanish scene at that time was dominated by abstraction and already had international recognition thanks to artists such as Chillida and Tapies, but Andres Nagel, who didn't feel identified with these trends did tune with the artistic movements that found in other countries such as Italy, Switzerland and Germany and soon opted for figurative art. A controversial artist, he rose to prominence with some of his works at the beginning of his career. In the mid 70's Nagel started to show his works in many exhibitions, both collectively and individually. Noteworthy among these events, his participation in the exhibition "New Spanish Painting" on Hastings Gallery in New York that introduced him to the American public. In 1978 also participates in a very important exhibition that pays tribute to the work of Joan Miró in Mallorca. During the 80's the artist works in numerous international exhibitions in cities like Varna, Dortmund, Bonn, Basel or Baghdad. In 1988 the Museum of Fine Arts in Bilbao exhibits the graphic work of Nagel, in this show a catalogue raisonné is edited. In 1989 he began his collaboration with the gallery Tasende California and participates in many American art fairs. Thereafter Andrés Nagel travels the world and his work is present in several countries including Mexico, Japan, Singapore, China, France, Canada, Germany or Italy. In 2003 Nagel inaugurates in Amorebieta (Vizcaya) a bronze sculpture of eight meters high that he entitles "La patata" (the potato). Unparalleled defender of the intellectual property, the transfer of this work for urban reasons is considered by Nagel as an insult to his work, leading him to sue the city council. In 2009 re-litigated against a porcelain company that, according to the artist, plagiarizes his designs and get benefits from them without his consent. Andrés Nagel's work can be defined within the postmodern figuration...
