Robert Rauschenberg Prints Published to accompany an exhibition held at the National Gallery of Art, Washington DC from 28 October, 2007 to 30 March, 2008, this website provides information about prints made by American artist Robert Rauschenberg. The website concentrates on the 1960s, with his "painterly prints filled with images he clipped from newspapers and magazines", 1970s when the artist established his own print facility, Untitled Press, and 1980s and 1990s when he traveled extensively and started to use his own photographs in his art, partly for copyright reasons.
