Thanks for the tour. One of the greats. I went to a Rauschenberg retrospective in London but I don’t think any of these works featured. They’re wonderful.

I've always thought of Rauschenberg as a footnote to the much more interesting and ethical artist, Kurt Schwitters. George Steiner brilliantly summarises Schwitters' work as 'Messianic retrieval'. By contrast, Rauschenberg's work just levels all meaningful differences: he is a nihilist. For the last fifty years, his work has not only been produced on an industrial scale but has made no significant development.

After more than 40 years, Rauschenberg's work is fresh and relevant. Under the stranglehold of Duchamp but isn't all art?
