Ruscha and Rauschenberg at Gemini G.E.L.

 

Bobbie Greenfield Gallery

 

The works have not piquancy, they lack this, noticeably. Stand up close, rather walk away, across the room. Then the swan and the buddha and the Estetica Beauty Salon in their precise relations figure as a picture window, and Yes We’re Open as a sign (Rauschenberg). Likewise V. or OK or a lazy question mark at a forty-five degree angle, The End in Gothic letters , a rooster (Ruscha).
