Specialist note

“Robert Rauschenberg lived and worked in a whirlwind of images. He was the wind itself. No American artist before or since has been so gracefully at ease with the multiplicity and diversity of visual experience around us, nor so avid for it”
(Robert Storr quoted in Selections from the Private Collection of Robert Rauschenberg, Gagosian Gallery, New York, 2011, p. 14).
