Catalogue Note

Frederick Kiesler was an architect, painter and designer who was a member of the De Stijl group, a collaborator with the Surrealists and a director within the Design Department at the Columbia School of Architecture. Following his death in 1965 an exhibition in his memory was organized as a benefit for children with intellectual disabilities. This print was Rauschenberg's contribution to the event.
