Table Talk for Tomlin, 1980 23 x 31 in (58.4 x 78.7 cm)
In this 1980 work, Robert Rauschenberg combines mixed media elements on a substantial canvas to create a composition that reflects his characteristic approach of integrating diverse materials and imagery. The piece measures 23 by 31 inches and employs Rauschenberg's signature technique of layering photographs, printed matter, and painted elements to generate visual dialogue between high and low culture. The title's reference to Tomlin suggests a personal or artistic connection, while the work exemplifies Rauschenberg's continued experimentation with collage and assemblage during this period of his career.
