San Francisco Museum of Modern Art recently released a site for the Rauschenberg Research Project with support from the Getty and from the Rauschenberg Foundation. SFMOMA's large and beautiful collection of work by Robert Rauschenberg (1925-2008) has been digitized and documented with a degree of detail and adumbration never seen here before. PR from the Museum celebrates an expensive online initiative like this as one of several stopgap measures to maintain public loyalty, with the Museum currently closed for 3 years of remodeling and expansion.
