Some artists, such as Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg, who work on the same billboard scale as James Rosenquist, have bought their own buildings...

His smasheroo album is in the front ranks of Billboard's "Top LPs," sandwiched between the sound track from The Wild Angels and Simon and Garfunkel's Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme.
