Color limited edition 27 x 40 lithographed poster created for the Grateful Dead's Rainforest benefit performance at Madison Square Garden in 1988, numbered 2/250, signed along the bottom in pencil, "Rauschenberg." The striking artwork incorporates Rauschenberg's distinctive mixed-media aesthetic, with vivid colors, layered imagery, and a skull motif referencing the Grateful Dead. In fine condition.
Organized by the Grateful Dead to raise awareness and support for tropical rainforest preservation, the landmark benefit also featured performances by Bruce Hornsby and the Range and Suzanne Vega. One of the most influential American artists of the 20th century, Rauschenberg was celebrated for his innovative combinations of painting, photography, and printmaking, as well as his commitment to environmental causes. An exceptional crossover of contemporary fine art and rock music history.
