ROBERT RAUSCHENBERG: Gluts
Castanal, Jose. ROBERT RAUSCHENBERG: Gluts. 136 pages, including 37 color and 1 b&w plates. Folio, boards. Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac, 2026.
Published to coincide with the centennial of Robert Rauschenberg'sbirth, this volume is one of the only publications dedicated to the artist's seminal 1980s series, Gluts. The series was inspired by the artist's 1985 visit to his native Texas, which was weathering a recession due to a "glut" in the oil market, turning its landscape into a wasteland of abandoned vehicles and the rusting signs of failed petrol stations. Rauschenberg salvaged these discarded objects and transformed them into wall reliefs and freestanding assemblages. This bilingual volume includes abundant archival imagery of the artist at work as well as detail shots of the works unseen elsewhere.
