This rare three-volume set on the work of Robert Rauschenberg, including Anagrams (1996), Arcadian Retreats (1997), and Anagrams (A Pun) (1999), provides insight into the protean artist’s related series, begun in the mid-1990s, which employed new techniques to combine dye transfer with novel supports.

Rauschenberg has taken art's material operations as the object of investigation: he is absorbed by the making of the making of a work of visual art.

It is a precious thing to compare ourselves to nothing else. This is my working attitude.
