Book Reviews of Rauschenberg: Art and Life
Book Review: A Caveat
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is unquestionably worth buying -- the biographical essay is tremendous in insight and provides excellent context for RR's work, and the color reproductions are beautiful -- but please be advised that the man's later works (70s - mid 80s) are somewhat over-represented. In fact, I would say that only about 60% of the book is devoted to what's considered the man's most productive and ingenious period, the 50s -60s. As a result, I'll likely be purchasing the Combines book as a supplement to this one.
Another quibble is that quite a few of the pictures (although marvelously rendered) are in black and white -- and for no good reason!
This book is incredible for what it is, and should be an especially strong purchase for those who own catalogues of the man's early work or need a biographical overview of his life and times. It is not, however, the comprehensive pictorial overview of RR's early work that I had expected when purchasing.
