RIP Rauschenberg

Bob Rauschenberg died yesterday, 82 years old. Met him circa 1989 when me and the then aspiring journalist Bo Madestrand slipped into Heland Wetterling Gallery in Stockholm, the day after him opening an exhibition. He was in the gallery, and we had a little chat, and he gave us two exhib posters that he signed BIG with fat marker pens. He seemed genuinely thrilled that we, two hip young 80's dudes where familiar with his work.
Of course we know Bob!
His work has always been good, I like his earlier stuff best such as his combines. In the end his work became a bit washed out, usually collages with mixed in classic buildings and statues with everyday objects, sellable, but it always looked good!
