Challenging nearly all the prevailing assumptions about the visual arts of his time, he pioneered the postwar revival of collage, photography, silkscreen, technology, and performance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis book focuses on Rauschenberg's work during the critical period of the 1950s and 1960s. It opens with a newly prefaced version of Leo Steinberg's \u003cem\u003eReflections on the State of Criticism\u003c\/em\u003e, the first published version of his famous 1972 essay, \u003cem\u003eOther Criteria\u003c\/em\u003e, which remains the single most important text on Rauschenberg. Rosalind Krauss's \u003cem\u003eRauschenberg and the Materialized Image\u003c\/em\u003e builds on Steinberg's essay, arguing that Rauschenberg's work represents a decisive shift in contemporary art. Douglas Crimp's \u003cem\u003eOn the Museum's Ruins\u003c\/em\u003e examines Rauschenberg's silkscreens in the context of the modern museum. Helen Molesworth's \u003cem\u003eBefore Bed\u003c\/em\u003e uses psychoanalytic and economic structures to examine the artist's Black Paintings of the early 1950s. A second essay by Krauss, \u003cem\u003ePerpetual Inventory\u003c\/em\u003e, revisits both her and Steinberg's articles of nearly twenty-five years earlier. Finally, Branden Joseph's \u003cem\u003eA Duplication Containing Duplications\u003c\/em\u003e views Rauschenberg's silkscreens in relation to the artist's interests in technology, particularly television.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eContributors\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBranden W.
