Robert Rauschenberg, A Day with Rauschenberg for Art Teachers working with Learning Disabled Students The Lab School (Washington DC), SIGNED Poster, 1997
Size: 26 x 35 inches
The always generous Robert Rauschenberg often made posters and donated works for worthy causes. This poster, however. was special. Since childhood Rauschenberg suffered from severe dyslexia and the Lab School’s specialty was working with learning disabled students. According to Rauschenberg’s son Christopher, “he fell in love with the place” and asked “why didn’t I get to go to a school like this?” He continued making posters for the school’s yearly Power of Art conferences, and following his death, the Rauschenberg Foundation has maintained its support.
