Robert Rauschenberg was an important American abstract expressionist and pop artist who lived and worked in New York. He came onto the art scene in the 1950s with “combines”: arrangements of ordinary objects placed together in extra-ordinary ways in the forms of painting, sculpture and collages. His unorthodox methods and creativity have made him an international star, and he has enjoyed this success for over half a century. He died Monday of heart failure.
This interview is hilarious and had me cracking up several times. In it, Rauschenberg explains his famous “Erased De Kooning.” Don’t take my word for it, you have to see it to believe it…
