...accident that two painters known for maintaining a critical dialogue with abstract expressionism come off very well in the film. The art of Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns is of a type that admits more easily than that of the formalists to personal justification. Thus we have Rauschenberg sitting atop a ladder in his studio and explaining how his search was always for what could be different about his work from other artists and not necessarily what was better. And Johns speaks of trying to find the "things which can't be located" in the materials with which he works...
...thus enabling a roomful of Manhattan connoisseurs to admire the royal décolletage, which ended at about the navel, without committing lèse-majesté. The occasion: a money-raising bash to buy paintings from various worthy artists. After panting up the 80 Steps to Host Robert Rauschenberg's panoramic pad, the 300 guests nibbled at salmon and sipped Muscadet (from artistic plastic cups) while ogling a Who's Who of the beaux-arts, notably Roy Lichtenstein, Larry Rivers, James Rosenquist and Andy Warhol. "I think this is a very beautiful experience," decided the princess...
Significantly, Boston is not the only city supporting the Democratic ticket by means of the arts. On September 21, the Sidney Janis Gallery together with the Pace Gallery in New York sponsored an art sale including a limited-edition portfolio of such pop artists as Robert Rauschenberg, Claus Oldenberg, Roy Lichtenstein and Jasper Johns.

Roy Lichtenstein acquired one vast floor of a bankrupt bank on the Bowery (other floors were taken by Adolph Gottlieb and Barnett Newman). Kenneth Noland bought a storage building; Robert Rauschenberg, a flophouse-cum-church on Lafayette Street. The first artists' coop was set up in 1967 at 80 Wooster Street; by 1968, there were 15 such buildings, and there are at least 28 now. Today, a loft building that would have gone for $30,000 in 1960 is likely...
Electronic Mud. One of the most popular exhibits is Robert Rauschenberg's Mud Muse. It is a tank filled with sloppy, coffee-colored drillers' mud supplied from one of Teledyne's offshore oil rigs. Pipes in the floor of the tank emit air bubbles, which plop to the surface at random with a kind of lazy flatulence. The pipes in turn are controlled by an elaborate electronics system, which converts signals from taped music and random noise in the room into a pattern of air release. "I think," says Rauschenberg, "you immediately get involved with Mud Muse...
