“Hog Heaven (Scale)” is an installation artwork created by artist Robert Rauschenberg in 1973. This piece is associated with the Neo-Dada art movement. The artwork presents a complex integration of mixed media and three-dimensional elements, characteristic of Rauschenberg’s innovative approach.
The artwork features a large multifaceted panel adorned with a collage of images, textures, and colors that create a vibrant, dynamic composition. The central element of the piece is a prominent yellow section, intersected by a brown wooden plank, which extends outward from the flat surface towards a large, circular object at the bottom left. This three-dimensional circular object resembles a tire, and within it is a reflective, mosaic-like arrangement possibly incorporating mirrored surfaces, inviting viewers to see themselves as part of the piece. The collage elements on the panel include various printed images and patterns, contributing to the eclectic and textured nature of the installation. The piece’s overall aesthetic is a testament to Rauschenberg’s ability to blend different materials and visual elements into a cohesive and thought-provoking artwork.
