ROBERT RAUSCHENBERG Anny Store, 1991

This striking exhibition poster was created in 1991 by the influential American artist Robert Rauschenberg for his Works exhibition at Knoedler & Co., one of the most historically significant galleries in the United States.

Printed as a color offset lithograph on gold foil or wove paper, the composition is unmistakably Rauschenberg—layered, dynamic, and visually charged. The image brings together photographic transfers, painterly gestures, and graphic elements in a richly textured surface that oscillates between abstraction and representation. Industrial motifs, architectural fragments, and expressive mark-making coexist in a complex visual field, reflecting the artist’s ongoing exploration of image-making in the late 20th century.

Rauschenberg, a central figure in the transition from Abstract Expressionism to Pop and Conceptual art, consistently blurred the boundaries between media, incorporating found imagery and unconventional materials into his work. This poster embodies that spirit, functioning not merely as an announcement but as an autonomous artwork in its own right.

The use of metallic paper enhances the depth and luminosity of the composition, giving the surface a tactile, almost reflective quality that changes with light—an effect that echoes the artist’s interest in materiality and perception.

A powerful and highly collectible example of late-period Rauschenberg, appealing to collectors of postwar American art, gallery ephemera, and works that capture the energy of the pre-digital era.
