An excellent example of this important early catalogue, scarce in signed state. Boldly signed by the artist "Bob Rauschenberg" in black ink to the inside rear endpaper. A beautifully designed catalogue, produced by Elaine Lustig and published in conjunction with Rauschenberg's first major Museum retrospective organised in 1963 by The Jewish Museum, New York. Only the third monograph publication on the artist, it features an insightful ten page essay by curator Alan D. Solomon and reproductions of several important early works.
