An essay by curator Leah Dickerman explores the legacy of this extraordinary piece, and places it within a key period in Rauschenberg's career.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Museum of Modern Art","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47890759680151,"sku":"9780870708947","price":794.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780870708947.webp?v=1781181223","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/rauschenberg-canyon-moma-one-on-one-series-9780870708947","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
