by Robert Rauschenberg 1925-2008
I’ve just learned that one of my favourite contemporary artists has died at 82: Robert Rauschenberg.
The New York Times has a very good obituary on him. In case you cannot get past the registration wall that it may fall behind, I’ve saved it here as a PDF.
I’ve just fetched my copy of the monograph Rauschenberg: Art and Life by Mary Lynn Kotz, (2004. Abrams) (cover image above) and am revisiting my favourite images while pondering on his vast output and influence on so many artists.

Thanks for noting this. He was one of my favorites, too! The world has lost a great artist!
Thanks for posting the obituary, he was truly a great artist.
Thanks for posting this.
Joan, Cathy and MB – it’s such a loss that I just had to take note of it.
