Biography
Waddington Galleries is holding an exhibition of recent work by the American artist Robert Rauschenberg. Ten large works from his Short Stories series will be exhibited. These transfer paintings incorporate a process whereby photographic images are transferred in pigment and vegetable dye onto a polylaminate surface. Each work is titled with page and paragraph numbers as if it were a part of a larger story. The viewer is invited to complete the story, as Rauschenberg has written of these works, ‘You are the author.’
