A Venetian canal?
Robert Rauschenburg (1925-2008)

-wood and metal suspended with rope over water-filled tub with glass jug
Nearly a decade after becoming the first American to win the grand prize at the Venice Biennale in 1964,Rauschenburg returned to the floating city.
With its water-filled bathtub,this work evokes Venetian canals:its suspended tangle of found rusted metals refers to the aging.deteriorating surfaces throughout the city.
