Description: Robert Rauschenberg is a work of collaborative oral biography that tells the story of one of the twentieth century's great artists through a series of interviews with key figures in his life--family, friends, former lovers, professional associates, studio assistants, and collaborators.
Review Quotes: This makes oral history a peculiarly apposite way of approaching him. The voices in Sara Sinclair's new book appear as randomly put together as do the car tyre and stuffed goat of Rauschenberg's combine 'Monogram'. . . . And it is this fabrication that makes Sinclair's book so fine. Rauschenberg emerges from it less as a painting than as a combine; which is to say, a Rauschenberg.--Charles Darwent "Times Literary Supplement"
