Rosenquist Remembers His Pal
By BOBBIE O'BRIEN (2008-05-19)
Robert Rauschenberg's Monogram
TAMPA (WUSF) - Close friends, family and staff of the late Robert Rauschenberg gathered Sunday on Captiva Island to celebrate his life.

His friend of 50 years, James Rosenquist, talked to WUSF late last week about how the innovative and exuberant artist will be remembered.

Rosenquist says he may memorialize his friend by placing a candle on an old tire. An homage to Rauschenberg's piece Monogram where he placed a tire around a goat.

He talked to Bobbie O'Brien from his studio in Aripeka. © Copyright 2012, WUSF
