Art Box 1963

Robert Rauschenberg's "Art Box" (1963) is a prime example of his innovative approach to Assemblage art. The artwork, a simple wooden box, challenges traditional notions of sculpture by incorporating found objects and text. The "Public Telephone" sticker and the words "Work of Art" painted on the side of the box highlight the artist's fascination with everyday objects and their potential for artistic expression. This work embodies Rauschenberg's desire to bridge the gap between high art and everyday life, blurring the lines between art and the real world.
