- Lot Description
Robert Rauschenberg (American, 1925-2008), "Bulkhead (Day Lights)", offset lithograph in colors, from Limited Edition for United Nations Stamp Issue, edition number 17/750, 1994. An original, hand-signed and numbered offset lithograph in colors composition by Robert Rauschenberg, one of the forefathers of Pop Art who was also passionate about the environment! This work was created for a stamp issue of six commemorative stamps for the theme of "Population and Development" commemorating the UN's International Conference on Population and Development held in Cairo, Egypt from September 5-13 in 1994, and it bears the embossed seal of the World Federation of United Nations Associations. Text on the UN document attached to the verso describes as follows, "The provocatively juxtaposed images and objects in 'Bulkhead (Day Lights)' symbolize the burden of overpopulation while the 'environment-friendly' process used to create it suggest that there is a brighter side to the complex predicament of humankind. A combination of photography and painting, 'Bulkhead (Day Lights)' is as organic in the materials used as it is in the conception of content: vegetable dye, vegetable fiber and water are the non-toxic process materials chosen by Rauschenberg." Size: 10.875" L x 7.125" W (27.6 cm x 18.1 cm); 19.875" L x 16.25" W (50.5 cm x 41.3 cm) including custom mat and frame
Continuing, "Colour photographs were computer scanned and printed with water-based, vegetable ink in preparation for this transfer process. He then painted drawing paper with water to govern the locus of transferred images. The gesture of water on paper, the selected relationship of images and the somewhat unpredictable bleed of vegetable dye into paper are the physical manifestations of his thoughts."
In addition to being one of the most important American forefathers of Pop Art, Robert Rauschenberg was an environmental activist who was concerned about the welfare of the earth throughout his lifetime. Not only did you create "Bulkhead (Day Lights)" for the UN Conference on Population and Development, he also designed the poster for the inaugural Earth Day - one of numerous posters that Rauschenberg created to raise funds for the many social causes he was passionate about.
