Robert Rauschenberg dies at 82
The NY Times sadly reported last week that the American artist Robert Rauschenberg has died on Monday night at his home on Captiva Island, Fla. He was 82.
In 1953, Rauschenberg stunned the art world by erasing a drawing by Willem de Kooning. He went on to become the first American artist to win the Grand Prize at the Venice Biennale and become one of the best loved American Contemporary Artists of our time.
