Rauschenberg used the technique of silk-screen printing for the first time in 1962, and in this work, which is almost 10 metres in length, that technique takes on monumental proportions. The silk-screened images are taken from photographs taken by the artist or from reproductions published in newspapers and magazines - showing cityscapes, landscapes or athletes - just as they are in some of his other works. This was a totally new way of portraying the world, through a collage of images set side by side or superimposed on one another without any narrative sequence or concern for scale, a fragmentary whole that the artist's intervention alone transforms into a unified vision.
