time to what would have been his100th birthday.
The exhibition contributes to a global slate of 2025 to 26
initiatives that reexamine Rauschenberg S legacy, honoring
his expansive creativity, spiritof curiosity and commitment to
change. At the heart of the presentation
(08:24):
is Barge 1962 to 63, a 32 foot long silkscreen painting that
exemplifies Rauschenberg S experimental use of photographic
imagery. Co owned by the Guggenheim New
York and the Guggenheim Vilbago,this monumental work makes its

Gabrielle Munter Contours of a World will illuminate Munter S
disruptive and under recognized practice while challenging
historical narratives that have sidelined women artists for
decades. Munter has been relegated to a
(10:13):
minor figure in the history of German Expressionism and the
Blau Rider Blue Rider 1911 to 14movement, overshadowed by her
then companion and creative partner Vasily Kandinsky.
This exhibition corrects that framing, establishing Munter as
a prolific and innovative artistwho created significant work
