A new exhibition at TAO ART brings Robert Rauschenberg and Jason Wu into the same frame. “Robert Rauschenberg and Jason Wu: Common Threads” explores the dialogue between the American artist’s work and Wu’s fashion creations.
The show arrives at a moment when fashion museums and galleries are deepening their embrace of living designers. Common Threads adds an American chapter to that story.
Wu has long spoken of art as the root of his design thinking. This show makes that lineage visible, moving the conversation from inspiration to shared material logic.
For visitors, the pairing offers a way to read fashion as fine art: not as decoration, but as composition in three dimensions.
The exhibition treats the runway as a canvas. Garments are presented beside Rauschenberg’s works, letting drape and construction converse with his layering and collage.
