Event Details

The relationship between Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns was one of the greatest love stories in modern art. A time of intense emotional involvement, together they plotted the downfall of Abstract Expressionism in their grubby paint strewn apartments in downtown New York. In the 1950s, during the 6 years they were together, practically everything they produced was a masterpiece—just think of Rauschenberg’s eclectic Combines and Johns’ Flags and Targets. Works radiant with newness, that gave the first whispered hints of the surprises we had in wait from Contemporary Art.
