Robert Rauschenberg, Reach Beach (Runts) (2007) All images via Galleri Faurschou.

Currently on view at the Galleri Faurschou in Copenhagen is ‘Robert Rauschenberg: Runts’. The exhibition features the last series of collages created by the artist before his death in 2008.  Unlike much his earlier collage works, which were comprised of prints from newspapers and magazines, many of the images in ‘Runts’ draw from Rauschenberg’s own photographs. Many of these photographs were taken in Florida, where Rauschenberg lived for several years. As a result, the series has a highly personal feel that both transcends and enhances the pictures of sunny blue skies and beach paraphernalia featured among the works.
