The artwork, titled “Pilot (Jammer)”, was created by Robert Rauschenberg in 1975 and belongs to the Neo-Dada art movement. It is an installation genre piece that exemplifies Rauschenberg’s innovative approach to art.
The artwork features three large fabric panels in varying colors, predominantly turquoise, yellow, and white. These panels are hung from the wall, suspended horizontally and drape naturally, suggesting a sense of movement and fluidity. The yellow fabric is prominently supported by a wooden pole that diagonally intersects with the other fabrics, creating an interplay of structures and materials. The piece reflects Rauschenberg’s characteristic exploration of texture, space, and the juxtaposition of everyday materials in a gallery context. The simplicity and elegance of the composition invite reflection on the nature of art and the boundaries between everyday objects and artistic expression.
