JASPER JOHNS AND ROBERT RAUSCHENBERG

«On the other hand when I first visited Warhol in New York he was as talkative as he ever would be with me, asking me lots of questions about the artists. He asked if I knew Rauschenberg. Did I know Johns? Well, yes. I did thanks to Leo Castelli. What did I think of them? Warhol was one of the absolute pioneers of object art in America. It's so important to understand how aware he was of both Rauschenberg and John's work".
