Robert Rauschenberg Oral History - Incite at Columbia University

This oral history documents the life and legacy of renowned American artist Robert Rauschenberg.

This project's framework is informed by Mr. Rauschenberg’s impact on the avant-garde art world of the 1950s, 60s, and 70s. Through this exploration, the oral history provides a new perspective on Rauschenberg’s work and how the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation may re-create the conditions that helped Mr. Rauschenberg flourish for other young artists.

Robert Rauschenberg: An Oral History, a book that compiles this work into a collaborative oral biography, was released in August 2019. It is edited by Sara Sinclair with Mary Marshall Clark and Peter Bearman, to be published by Columbia University Press.

This project was funded by the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation.
