An exploration of the long and fruitful collaborations between Donald J. Saff, founder of Graphicstudio in 1968 and founding Dean of the College of Design, Art & Performance at the University of South Florida and Robert Rauschenberg.Out of the Real World: Robert Rauschenberg at USF Graphicstudio brings together works by Rauschenberg from throughout his career, as well as by artists whose practices recall Rauschenbergs radical approach to material, process, and concepts and demonstrate his immense legacy. These include Scatole Personali (1951), a small painted box filled with items collected during Rauschenbergs travels with Cy Twombly in Italy and North Africa; images from three major print series completed at Graphicstudio in the early 1970s including Made in Tampa (1972-73), Crops (1973), and Airport Suite (1974); works related to Rauschenbergs mammoth international cultural exchange project known as the Rauschenberg Overseas Culture Interchange (ROCI); and works from Saff and Rauschenbergs continued collaborations following Saffs retirement from USF.
