The exhibition consists of Rauschenberg’s new series of Scenarios paintings and a cast bronze sculpture entitled The Ancient Incident (Kabal American Zephyr).

The twelve paintings, each measuring a little over 7’ x 10’, are visual collages created from Rauschenberg’s vast archive of found and self-generated photographs, which then get transferred onto aluminum panels covered in polylaminate synthetic fabric. Rauschenberg has always been recognized for his innate ability to create a striking commentary on the surrounding landscape, and his Scenario paintings are undeniably Americana in nature, focusing on rural America, the South and New York City.

The Ancient Incident (Kabal American Zephyr) relates to a sculptural series that Rauschenberg began in 1981 and has continued to work on until present day. The sculptures contain fragmented images juxtaposed incongruously inviting the viewer to create his or hew own narrative.
