Ed. Grateful Dead Poster' Description Current Lot Rauschenberg Lim. Ed. Grateful Dead Poster The teaming of Robert Rauschenberg and The Grateful Dead seems a little fitting. Both the group and the artist have had a long history of controversy. Rauschenberg was well-known in the 1950s for his "Combines", the mixture of painted art and sculpture. He would collect trash off of New York City streets and use it in his work. He also dabbled in printmaking and photography, using some of the same techniques of Andy Warhol. In this concert poster for the Grateful Dead's 1988 Madison Square Garden concert "A Benefit Performance For The Rainforest", Rauschenberg silk screened a skull and chains over his painting of an abstract forest. (A recognizable technique, as Rauschenberg would often would take photographs and then do a silk screen.) At the bottom center of this poster, the artist has signed, in pencil, and signified the piece's limited edition status as well as the date "88." The poster displays visible dimensions of 39" x 26-1/2" and is framed and matted to 45" x 31". The colors are vibrant and is very typical of the artist's style in the late 20th Century. Place a Bid!
