“The most interesting thing about art is it's a constant discovery.”
—Robert RauschenbergRobert Rauschenberg used the solvent transfer process to recycle and recontextualize American collective memory. He utilized glossy, mass produced images found in magazines and newspapers like Life, Newsweek, and The New York Times. Rauschenberg first began this exploration of image transferring while visiting Cuba in 1952. He began with a simple water transfer, soaking a clipped photo in water before placing it face-first onto a sheet of paper, rubbing a dry pen nib across the back of the page until the image was reproduced onto its new surface. Always experimenting with new materials and methodologies, Rauschenberg later used liquids like turpentine and lighter fluid as the solvent in this process, which resulted in cleaner, more complete transfers of the source image. Since the transfer process ultimately obliterates the original image source by dissolving it, Rauschenberg’s solvent transfers are unique prints.

Building upon Rauschenberg’s lifetime of experimentation with the transmission and transformation of mass media images, Untitled reflects the artist’s continued return to the alchemical solvent transfer process, nearly forty years after his first artistic trials.
