Bob’s New York
See New York through Robert Rauschenberg’s eyes with “Bob’s New York,” our guide to the sites of friendship and exchange that marked his time in the city. Our first stop: 6 West 95th Street, the studio and apartment Bob shared with his wife, artist Susan Weil in 1950. It was here, in the building’s shared bathroom, that the pair created the blueprints that offered them their first recognition: a 3-page spread in LIFE magazine.
