Digital Catalogue Raisonné

The Foundation has embarked on an ongoing project to create a digital catalogue raisonné of the artist’s paintings and sculpture. The first volume, covering works from 1948–1953, will be published during the Centennial. Ultimately, the catalogue raisonné will cover Rauschenberg’s work made between 1948–2008, comprising approximately 3,000 artworks. The project is expected to take approximately twenty years. To provide as many people as possible with the opportunity to access and engage with Rauschenberg’s oeuvre, the catalogue raisonné will be published online, free of charge, in a series of releases. In addition to all that is found in a conventional catalogue raisonné—artwork entries, provenance, exhibition histories, and bibliographies—it will also feature essays by artists, conservators, critics, and scholars to present a range of perspectives that is commensurate with the expansiveness of Rauschenberg’s thinking as well as his profound curiosity and openness to new ideas and ways of working.
