The artwork, titled “Untitled (Early Egyptian)”, was created by Robert Rauschenberg in the year 1973. It belongs to the Neo-Dada art movement and falls under the genre of installation art.
The artwork presents a deconstructed and repurposed tricycle with an integrated metal bucket, set atop a wooden floor. The tricycle’s frame and wheels lie horizontally, evoking a sense of arrested motion and abandonment. The elongated handle extending from the frame adds an element of utilitarian ambiguity, further enriching the abstract narrative. The piece reflects Rauschenberg’s penchant for integrating everyday objects into his art, challenging conventional perceptions of form and function in the art world.
