Christopher Rauschenberg

“Studio”

Christopher Rauschenberg grew up having three artist parents, He has been a photographer since 1957 or 1973, depending on how you count, and he has been a curator since 1975. Consequently, he is happy to find himself in artists’ studios often. He is primarily there to look at their art but loves to savor the delightful conjunctions of objects and images in those studios – 2 and 3 dimensional collages that both create and result from the powerful artistic charge that is the lifeblood of an artist’s studio.
