Tate Modern have announced that autumn 2016 will see the first posthumous retrospective of pop art icon Robert Rauschenberg; co-presented by MoMA, New York, it will also be his first comprehensive exhibition in Britain for nearly thirty-five years. Considered to be a forebear of the Pop Art movement, and a key inspiration to late-’60s counterculture artists, Rauschenberg’s influence on the art world continued into the 21st century, having only passed away in 2008, aged 82.
The London gallery will also play host to an exhibition of work by American modernist Georgia O’ Keeffe; whilst Francis Bacon at Tate Liverpool is another of the group’s 2016 programme highlights.
