In a review dated 17 September 2026, the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation looked back on the global celebrations of the artist's centennial, held throughout 2025 and into 2026, which sought to encourage fresh perspectives on his creative life and legacy. A downloadable Centennial Report highlights activations, exhibitions and performances in cities including Des Moines, Kuala Lumpur, New York, Taipei and Toronto that reexamined Rauschenberg through a contemporary lens. Through its Centennial grant initiative, the foundation supported artists and organizations embodying Rauschenberg's belief in art as a tool for social change: more than 30 institutions held exhibitions of his work, the foundation collaborated with fashion designer Jason Wu, published its first book — I Don't Think About Being Great: Selected Writings, with Yale — and reimagined Pelican (1963), Rauschenberg's first choreographic work, with the Trisha Brown Dance Company in a Brooklyn roller-skating rink. Four Captiva Residency alumni received unrestricted $100,000 Rauschenberg Centennial Awards across Art, Performance, Photography and Writing. Looking ahead, the foundation points to the Tate ARTIST ROOMS display opening 18 September, the continued run of The Ascent of Rauschenberg: Reinventing the Art of Flight at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington through July 2027, and the forthcoming release of the first installment of its digital catalogue raisonné this fall.
