Mummy Linen

Cleveland Museum of Art

Mummy Linen by Robert Rauschenberg. A large piece of off-white, beige-colored linen with a rough, frayed edge at the bottom. The fabric appears to be old and worn, with several areas of damage including tears, frays, and discoloration. There are several holes and gaps in the fabric. The fabric is mounted on a gray backing material, visible through the tears and holes. The background behind the linen is black.
