"What makes my works so wonderful, if I may say, is that I decided to ennoble the ordinary. [..] I feel that if you donýt move you will step on someoneýs feet, if you stand still for too long you get into peopleýsway. And that explains why I donýt fear changeý actually, it is the opposite that scares me. Because if you donýt move on you start to rot."
Robert Rauschenberg, 1989, quote from: Kýnstler. Kritisches Lexikon der Gegenwartskunst, p.14.
