The Sheldon Museum of Art at the University of Nebraska – Lincoln presents Robert Rauschenberg and the Flatbed Picture Plane, an exhibition exploring Rauschenberg’s work through the concept of Leo Steinberg’s flatbed picture plane. Created with a variety of printmaking techniques, each of the works presented in the exhibition was conceived with horizontality in mind and reveals new images and meanings as the beholder meanders through the composition. Acquired for Sheldon Museum of Art’s collection between 1970 and 2018, the nine editioned works in this exhibition are presented together for the very first time.
