この絵画について
“One of the reasons that I am so thankful that I’m an artist is that the language of being an artist works anywhere. There is no country that is so rich or so poor that they don’t have an artistic culture. Artists always understand each other…I even feel restricted with the world as small as it is already.

materials. In Park/ROCI MEXICO, the vibrant colors and rich religious culture of Mexico are made visible in the crimson poinsettia doilies, which have been arranged to resemble a “Dia de los Muertos” skull.

This work would have traveled to exhibitions in the 21 other countries visited by ROCI, creating an
artistic dialogue between nations by presenting Rauschenberg’s exploration of Mexican artistic and visual culture.
