“Rome Flea Market (V)” is a piece by Robert Rauschenberg, created in 1952, falling under the Neo-Dada art movement. This artwork belongs to the genre of photography.
The artwork captures an intricately draped fabric, showcasing delicate fringes and a floral pattern, covering the front portion of an old vehicle. The headlight and the registration plate, marked “20706 RD,” are visible beneath the partially covered exterior. This meticulous arrangement evokes a blend of antiquity and elegance, reflecting the artist’s Neo-Dada influences. The juxtaposition of the mundane with the ornate collectively conveys a sense of aesthetic harmony, typical of Rauschenberg’s style.
