Lot Essay

"Rauschenberg's images have been chosen to maintain a condition of pictorial and psychological tensions. Resolution would destroy this tension and the elements chosen never admit the possibility of logical interpretation or elucidation either in themselves or in relation to the things with which they have been combined" (A. Solomon, Robert Rauschenberg, exh. cat., Jewish Museum, New York, 1963, n.p.).
