    There's not much news of this obviously because of the recent natural disasters in Myanmar and China (my heart and prayers go out to them as well)

    Rest in Peace Robert
    You will always be remembered and loved.

    edit:
    There's a nice article/writeup in the NY Times on his influence and life.

    Hadn't heard about this - what a drag. A definite innovator in many ways.

    Rauschenberg was the rare midcentury/late 20th century artist whose work almost everyone likes. So American, so "new," yet totally accessible. The word "Pop" is too confining to describe the scope of his work. He'll be fondly remembered and missed.

    I wish I'd saved that Talking Heads special edition LP he created for them. The design was brilliant!
