Catalogue Note
"In Rauschenberg's work, the image depends not on the transformation of an object, but rather on its transfer. Taken from its place in the world, an object is embedded in the surface of a painting. Far from losing its material density in this operation, it asserts, to the contrary and insistently, that the images themselves are a sort of material." - Rosalind Krauss ("Rauschenberg and the Materialized Image", The Originality of the Avant-garde and Other Modernist Myths, New York, 1986)
