Tibetan Keys (Double Bevel), from Tibetan Keys and Locks

Robert Rauschenberg's *Tibetan Keys (Double Bevel)* from the *Tibetan Keys and Locks* series showcases the artist's inventive fusion of industrial materials and printmaking techniques. The steel multiple is layered with screenprinted decals and hand-coloring in screenprinting ink, all sealed beneath a polyurethane clear coat, creating a richly textured, multidimensional surface. This work reflects Rauschenberg's lifelong interest in combining everyday objects with artistic processes, blurring the boundaries between sculpture, print, and found material.
