Fascinated by the expressive potential of textiles, including silks, gauze, cheesecloth, and drop cloths, Rauschenberg experimented with the ability of woven materials to capture color and light, hold printed images, and move in the air. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEssays contextualize Rauschenberg's work with cloth in the history of 1970s late modernism and Postminimalism, as well as his career-long interest in the intersection of art and the body through his work in scenography and costumes for dance. Michelle White provides an in-depth overview of the three series and related works, while Branden Joseph explores how they connect with the era's cultural and economic precarity. Nick Mauss examines how the artist used fabric to create a sense of intimacy and revisit past practices, relationships, and dynamics of collaboration. And Joseph N. Newland discusses Rauschenberg's costumes and scenic designs for the dance companies of Merce Cunningham and Trisha Brown. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDistributed for the Menil Collection \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExhibition Schedule:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Menil Collection, Houston, TX\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e(September 19, 2025–March 1, 2026)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDetails\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eISBN13: 9780300284195\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFormat: Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNumber of Pages: 204\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEdition: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublication Date: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublisher: Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublication City, Country: United States\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDimensions (cm): 29.2(H)x22.9(L)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeight (gm): \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichelle White\u003c\/b\u003e is senior curator at The Menil Collection. \u003cb\u003eBranden W.
