Robert Rauschenberg

RIP. That is sad. RR's work was so great. I want to the "Combines" show and was really slapped in the face.

As to the way his death is being reported, can I just say that all this tip-toeing around his sexuality in 2008 is really lame and just comes off like de facto homophobia?

RIP

RIP! I liked his stuff! Peace!

Wow, that's certainly something. Certainly has had an impact on me, from when I started getting interested in art in my mid-teens through to present. I'm sure he'll certainly remain one of the most interesting and intelligent artists for me, not to mention one who had a more or less immeasurable influence on myself and my ideas about art.

RIP.

Love his work, loved seeing some of it in person at SFMOMA.

wow, r.i.p. i really dig rauschenberg. my mom and i went to that combines show a few years ago and we were both pretty struck by the whole thing.

who's that leave from his generation, american-master wise? just johns?

RIP

I loved his stuff. I loved the Synapsis Shuffle exhibition at the Whitney in 2000.

I think he's one of those artists (like Pollack, I guess) where a lot of people think "hey, I could do that." But, guy, you sure couldn't. r.i.p.
