One of Rauschenberg's most complex prints, made between Autumn 1967 and May 1968, the print contains imagery relating to Robert Kennedy's candidacy for President. The edition was completed a week before his assassination. In this and other prints of the same date Rauschenberg used current magazines from the news stands for source material, seeking a vivid immediacy and relevance that his accumulated stocks of source material could not supply.
