Rauschenberg at LACMA

If you want to know how it feels to walk a quarter mile in the shoes of a great artist, you can have your wish fulfilled in the Robert Rauschenberg show at LACMA. Rauschenberg: The 1/4 Mile is spectacular in the literal sense of being bigger, better, wilder than anything you can imagine.
