Blood Orange Summer Glut Explained
Blood Orange Summer Glut is a sculpture made of junk metal by the American artist Robert Rauschenberg in 1987. Belonging to the Glut series,[1] it is part of the Institut Valencià d'Art Modern collection.[2] It is widely recognized as one of the best pieces in this museum's collection,[3] being exhibited in exhibitions at centers such as MAXXI in Rome,[4] or MACA in Alicante.[5]
The work was donated to the museum in 2005,[6] [7] after receiving the Julio González award in 2004.[8] [9] It is part of the Glut series, started in 1986 and inspired by the junk Rauschenberg found in several cities in Texas. This work is made of scrap metal and a truck toy, in a composition similar to a falling plane, and it is painted in orange as a reminder of the Texan summer.
