Untitled [glass Tires] 1997

Robert Rauschenberg’s 1997 sculpture, “Untitled [glass Tires]”, exemplifies the artist’s signature style of combining everyday objects with unconventional materials. The piece features two glass tires, suspended in a metallic frame. The tires’ textured surfaces and transparent nature create an ethereal visual experience, emphasizing the duality of strength and fragility. Rauschenberg’s work often challenged traditional artistic boundaries, prompting viewers to consider the relationship between art and everyday life. This piece is a testament to the artist’s innovative approach to sculpture, elevating ordinary objects into something unexpected and thought-provoking.
