Over nearly 35 years, Robert Rauschenberg produced over 250 different prints at Gemini G.E.L., the world-famous multiples workshop in Los Angeles, which was organized in 1966 and is still run by two of the founders, Sidney Felsen and Stanley Grinstein. At Gemini, Rauschenberg transformed what a “print” multiple was, not only in scale,but in how variable one print in a single edition could be from another; in how many physical dimensions it could have; in how many media a single multiple could involve; and in how the viewer could interact with the multiple and make it different. No other artist has ever pushed the boundaries of what “printmaking” could be as much as Rauschenberg. As Stanley Grinstein has said, “Rauschenberg taught us what Gemini could
be.”
There will be a public interview on March 6, 8 p.m. about the artist’s career at this famous workshop with Gemini’s founders, Stanley Grinstein and Sidney Felsen. RSVPs required; admission will be free.
