Reviews

The informative and entertaining voices of this solid work are as idiosyncratic as the artist himself. This is an excellent history for fans of Rauschenberg and mid-20th-century art.

Dorothy Lichtenstein, president of the Roy Lichtenstein Foundation:
Fall in love with Robert Rauschenberg, galactic master of art and life, through his worldwide collaborations.
