Robert Rauschenberg - Erased de Kooning Drawing 1953
Rauschenberg asks de Kooning if he can erase one of his works as 'an act of art'. De Kooning agrees but gives him the most difficult piece to erase that he can find - multimedia, crayon and ink on paper. It takes Rauschenberg an entire month. The New York Times declared it to be an act of 'both destruction and devotion'.
