Description

In 1969, American artist Robert Rauschenberg was invited by the NASA Art Program to document the launch of Apollo 11, the first manned spaceflight to the moon. Rauschenberg produced Stoned Moon, a series of large-format lithographs replete with scenes of astronauts, complex machinery, and various regional ephemera. This exhibition features 13 of the Stoned Moon lithographs together with 20 rarely seen collages and drawings, photographs of the artist visiting NASA's facilities, and more.
