Hardcover. Condizione: Wie neu.

Rauschenberg and the company visited thirty cities in fourteen countries throughout Europe and Asia. During the tour, he not only devised sets and costumes but also enacted his own performances and created works of art, often using local materials and collaborating with local art communities.

Rauschenberg's travels and collaborations established a new kind of transnational network for the postwar art world--prefiguring the globalization of art before the era of globalization.
