Space Between Art And Life

Robert Raushenberg died today at age 82. One critic said that he mined the space between art and life, which I thought was a great space to put oneself. He mined pop culture, but in very different ways than his contemporaries like Warhol and Lichtenstein--he brought things together from the various trajectories of life, creating three-dimensional pieces that were at once timeless and immediate. I liked his stuff immensely and his works helped me to see the value in the everyday and the ways in which the spaces between disparate things can be mined to great effect.

I had the chance to meet Bob in the last year and he was a wonderful man. He will be missed immensely - it was a very sad day at the office...
