About this work

This piece looks like a scrap of paper with torn edges. Inside a black border, there’s another piece of paper with faded brown and white bits glued on. The word "ZONE" is printed boldly at the top. Below, the word "Rauschenberg" is written in uneven letters. The artist used real torn paper and ink to make this look rough and unfinished. It’s not a clear picture of anything—just shapes and marks. If you like this style, check out The Museum of Modern Art for more works like it.
