mianoti: Robert Rauschenberg, Erased de Kooning Drawing, 1953 drawing; traces of ink and crayon on paper, mat, label, and gilded frame The incredible story of Robert Rauschenberg walking up to Willem de Kooning’s house with a bottle of Jack Daniels and asking him for a drawing he could erase. Not long before he died, Robert Rauschenberg told the story of the Erased De Kooning Drawing in this video. He’s a good storyteller. When he finished his erasure, some folks accused him of vandalizing a de Kooning, saying he destroyed art. It wasn’t vandalism, he tells the interviewer. Then what was it? “Poetry,” he says. via rototype and openculture
