Erased de Kooning Drawing was created by Robert Rauschenberg in 1953. In this "drawing" Rauschenberg erased a previous drawing created by William de Kooning in an attempt to push the boundaries of are. De Kooning intentionally chose a charcoal and pencil drawing to make Rauschenberg's job harder. It took two months and dozens of erasers, but de Kooning's drawing is still somewhat evident. Rauschenberg presented this as an art object because erasure is included in the realm of art. I chose this piece of art by Rauschenberg due to its controversial nature. There is a debate over what is considered art and Rauschenberg pushes those boundaries with this piece.
