Robert Rauschenberg's Erased de Kooning Drawing (1953): Modernism, Literalism, Postmodernism

Chronicling the history and impact of an early conceptualist work made in collaboration by three iconic American artists

In 1953, Robert Rauschenberg erased a drawing by Willem de Kooning, while Jasper Johns created a label for its presentation. Transmuted into something new, this obliterated piece marked a pivotal moment in art history and is widely referenced as a litmus test for modernism, literalism and postmodernism.
