This book explores the long and fruitful collaborations between the artist Robert Rauschenberg and Donald J. Saff, founder of Graphicstudio in 1968.

Out of the Real World: Robert Rauschenberg at USF Graphicstudio is the first comprehensive and scholarly publication to explore the significance of Robert Rauschenberg’s work at Graphicstudio, University of South Florida’s renowned atelier. Contributors detail Rauschenberg’s collaborative projects at Graphicstudio that pushed boundaries and redefined our understanding of printmaking. The legacy of the Rauschenberg Overseas Culture Interchange (ROCI) project, operationally headquartered at USF Graphicstudio and overseen by Saff as artistic director, is examined and reconsidered both geopolitically and through the lens of its resonance with host countries.
