What About Bob?: Remembering Robert Rauschenberg

Yesterday would have been Robert Rauschenberg‘s 83rd birthday, and New York’s Guggenheim Museum is celebrating with a photographic tribute to the artist, who died in May of heart failure. The presentation is the only public component of a series of Rauschenberg tribute events (including an art star-studded afternoon of remembrances at the Museum of Modern Art this Sunday), and the Guggenheim is a fitting venue. “Bob particularly loved this building,” said senior curator Susan Davidson at a press briefing this morning.
