Internationally acclaimed artist Robert Rauschenberg created a nine-panel, 12-foot-high mural for Benaroya Hall using the medium of vegetable dye transfer on polylaminate. This work, titled Echo, was commissioned by longtime Seattle arts patrons Virginia and Bagley Wright. We are honored to be the current home of this incredible work. A master of diversity, Rauschenberg worked in nearly every medium, including paintings, silk screens, sculptures and prints. He was best known for his unique style of incorporating paintings with various objects, which he called "combines." This interplay of activity in different media is at the core of Rauschenberg's work, which was marked throughout his career by a sense of experimentation and play.
