Biographical history of Rauschenberg's global travels and impact by Hiroko Ikegami. "Ikegami focuses on Rauschenberg's stops in four cities: Paris, Venice (where he became the first American to win the Grand Prize at the Venice Biennale), Stockholm, and Tokyo. In each city, she tells us, Rauschenberg's work encountered both enthusiasm and resistance (which was often a reaction against American power). Ikegami's account offers a fresh, nonbinary perspective on the global and the local." -- publisher's statement. Includes a timeline of Rauschenberg's exhibition history outside of the United States, endnotes, bibliography, a list of published sources, and an index.
