Press Release

NEW YORK – Craig F. Starr Associates presents Accident: Robert Rauschenberg’s Printmaking Breakthrough 1962-65, September 7 through October 13, 2007. 

The exhibition focuses on Rauschenberg’s  years with Universal Limited Art Editions (ULAE). With works culled from the collection of the artist and other private collections, this exhibition provides a special opportunity to view 

By embracing the chance occurrence of a stone breaking, Accident became the crowning achievement of Rauschenberg’s earliest prints. This exhibition provides a unique opportunity to compare Accident alongside a proof of the print before the stone broke. This exhibition focuses on Accident, Breatkthough I, and Breakthrough II, all printed from stones broken during the printing process.  Also on view are proofs of the additional stones used in the printing of Breakthrough II
