Three American artists were involved in its creation in 1953: Robert Rauschenberg erased a drawing by Willem de Kooning, who had given his consent with some reluctance. Jasper Johns provided it with a label on the occasion of its first presentation, which significantly contributed to its perception as an independent work. The sheet, transformed into something new, was interpreted as Neo-Dada in the 1950s, as the beginning of conceptual art in the 1960s, and as a departure into postmodernism in the 1980s. Numerous artists referenced the work, and Rauschenberg himself revisited it repeatedly. It proved to be a test case for definitions of modernism, literalism, and postmodernism. Gregor Stemmrich's knowledgeable art-theoretical consideration highlights the work's enduring relevance for the theory of the image, the index, the trace, the allegorical, and the question of appropriation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is also available in \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.hatjecantz.de\/products\/65030-robert-rauschenbergs-erased-de-kooning-drawing-1953?_pos=1\u0026amp;_sid=b3b51151e\u0026amp;_ss=r\"\u003eEnglish\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGREGOR STEMMRICH (*1953, Soest) has been a Professor of Art and Art History at NYU Abu Dhabi since 2015.
