Gear (Jammer) 1976

"Gear (Jammer)" is a 1976 work by American artist Robert Rauschenberg. The piece is characterized by its minimalist aesthetic, consisting of four panels of striped fabric, seemingly hung like a curtain. The repetition of the horizontal stripes creates a sense of rhythm and pattern, while the subtle variations in color and texture add depth and complexity. Rauschenberg, a pioneer of the Assemblage movement, often incorporated found objects and everyday materials into his art. "Gear (Jammer)" showcases his interest in exploring the interplay of textures and patterns to create a compelling visual experience.
