The following is from the October 2012 issue of ARTnews, which I’d pulled out of another stack of ARTnewses yesterday to see if a later issue had more I liked in it than the one I discussed yesterday (it did):

The text is by Barbara Macadam writing about a selection of works owned by Robert Rauschenberg.  I’m posting it because I find it fascinating that Ruscha made a sort of visual poem pretty close to what’s he’s making over fifty years ago–and, without trying for anything like the larger concerns of people calling themselves visual poets, has become famous and–I’m sure–wealthy, unlike any of the visual poets.  Not that I don’t like his work, or don’t think he deserves his fame and wealth.
