Specialist note

“ I once heard Jasper Johns say that Rauschenberg was the man who in this century had invented the most since Picasso. What he invented above all was, I think, a pictorial surface that let the world in again... Rauschenberg’s picture plane is for the consciousness immersed in the brain of the city.”
