Milan – 100 years after the birth of Robert Rauschenberg, the Museum Twentieth Century Hulge is him with a special exhibition, designed for Art Week and destined to animate the Milanese scene until next June 29. Known for the Lively Curiosity, for the aptitude for contamination and the exchange of ideas, ideas, ideas by the American artist Dialogues with the great masters of Museums in the Hal Carlo Carrà, from Alberto Burri to Mario Schifano to Maurizio Cattelan has something new. As unexpected guests, the works of Rauschenberg look on the path of the museum of the twentieth century comparisons and resonances based on common visions, materials and artistic intentions, on a journey that embraces the most important trends of Italian art in the twentieth century.
Compiled by Gianfranco Maraniello, director of the museums of the modern and contemporary art of the municipality of Milan, and of the artistic director of Miaart Nicola Ricciardi with Viviana Bertanzetti, uses the project of the collaboration of the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation.

Starting point of Rauschenberg and the twentieth century It is the Futurism Gallery, where the most important collection dedicated to the historic Italian avant -garde is exhibited. The unbridled enthusiasm of Balla for the car and Rauschenberg speed reacts with one of him MateThe series in which Auto Sirings and residues of Service Stations cancel for a criticism of the excess of oil supply that led to the collapse of the price to the barrel and the resulting economic crisis in the mid -1980s.
Upper floor The story is the protagonist. Rauschenberg reinterprets the nineteenth-century painting by Jacques-Louis David Bonaparte Valica Il Gran San Bernardo in the work I was able, I saw ElbaQuote from the legendary Palindrome pronounced by Napoleon before crossing the Alps. Paints of Carrà and Sironi participate in the dialogue, but also the great sculpture of Arturo Martini Bligny’s dead would extendWhose title evokes a speech by Mussolini about the complicated relationships between Italy and France in the mid -1930s.

Continuation of the travel route, we fly in the 1950s to meet the first of the artists who knew Rauschenberg personally.

The influence of Rauschenberg’s mowing porsers on the Nouveau Réeism Movement is located in the middle of the next section, where one of his own Spread He meets the works of Christo, Arman and Daniel Spoerri, while in the iconic room with a view of Piazza Duomo the works with a view White one Real Leging by Jannis Kounellis and the imponation Chinese party of the master of the Italian Pop -Art Mario Schifano confronts each other with Summer GlutvenconeOne of the most pop works in Rauschenberg. Here, art integrates with the chaos of life: the assemblies of waste objects explore the potential of the metal and – as me Tourists By Maurizio Cattelan who peeping through an Architrave – they invite you to look at the multiple options that are inherent in things.
After the encounter between the dream -like Ripe And the conceptual works of Giulio Paolini, to close the path, a three -way conversation with Eliseo Mattiacci and Gilberto Zorio focused on the concept of transformation: The heart of the setting is the ambitious project Onoto Snare / Venezuela Rocks By Rauschenberg (1985-91), synthesis of his vorarious curiosity and his indomitable spirit of sharing and cooperation.
