Robert Rauschenberg "Last Turn - Your Turn: Robert Rauschenberg and the Environmental Crisis"
Loretta Howard Gallery
This event has ended.
Jacobson Howard is proud to announce the exhibition "Last Turn - Your Turn: Robert Rauschenberg and the Environmental Crisis".
As "artist-activist" Robert Rauschenberg has long been a master at employing art to raise awareness. This exhibition chronicles his prophetic rendering of current issues ; global warming and the intersection of industrial development and planetary health.
Beginning with creating the first Earth Day Poster in 1970, Rauschenberg has been deeply engaged in addressing environmental issues. For the UN Earth Summit in Rio in 1992, Rauschenberg created Last Turn - Your Turn, which was the artist's call to action for the individual to take responsibility. Shortly thereafter he completed Ozone and Eco Echo. Many of the artists' most significant artworks that draw attention to potential ecological dangers will be on view at Jacobson Howard Gallery.
