Robert Rauschenberg: Life Can't Be Stopped – Centennial at the Guggenheim Museum in New York

On the occasion of the centenary of the birth of Robert Rauschenberg (1925–2008), the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York inaugurates the exhibition Life Can't Be Stopped, a special focus that celebrates the legacy of one of the most innovative artists of the 20th century.

The exhibition, organized in collaboration with the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation, features over a dozen key works from the museum's permanent collection and institutional loans, including the iconic Yellow Body (1968) and the monumental 30-foot-long Barge (1962–63).

The exhibition traces Rauschenberg's experimental language, from his solvent transfer technique to his pioneering use of silkscreen, which allowed him to blend photographic images, painting, and graphics into a single vision. His relationship with the Guggenheim is central, having included him in the 1963 exhibition Six Painters and the Object, the first museum recognition of Pop Art in New York.

The exhibition is part of a broader international calendar dedicated to the artist's centenary, confirming Rauschenberg's role as a pivotal figure in contemporary art and a bridge between the American avant-garde and global heritage.
