Rauschenberg's Goat

Robert Rauschenberg, Monogram, 1955-1959, mixed mediums with taxidermy goat, rubber tire and tennis ball. Moderna Museet, Stockholm


Discovered this very unusual piece of art through a book called "The Postcard Killers" by James Patterson. The artwork was described in a scene from the book and got me curious. Here is a unusual and weird quote from Rauschenberg :

“It is neither Art for Art, nor Art against Art. I am for Art, but for Art that has nothing to do with Art. Art has everything to do with life, but it has nothing to do with Art.”- Robert Rauschenberg, 1977
