The artwork, titled “Untitled,” was created by Robert Rauschenberg in 1995 and belongs to the Neo-Dada art movement. It is classified within the genre of sculpture.
The artwork features an intriguing composition involving a faded, roughly hewn stone or brick with engraved text, partially legible as “R M S” and “COLUMBI.” Embedded at its top is a dark, cylindrical form, from which a delicate wire emerges, culminating in a star-like or floral-shaped figure. The disparate materials and elements harmonize to create a piece that draws on the Neo-Dada movement’s characteristic embrace of everyday objects and assemblage art. Its deliberate use of weathered and repurposed materials evokes a sense of historical residue and contrasts with the more refined flower-like component, inviting contemplation on the intersection of the natural, the industrial, and the ephemeral.
