Seeing Robert Rauschenberg’s work at the MOMA was an unusual experience. When one goes to a museum in the city, he or she does not necessarily expect to find a full-size taxidermy goat standing in the middle of the room, but Rauschenberg made that happen. The goat is also wearing a tire, which adds more mystery to this piece of art. The goat’s face was covered in splatters of paint and the goat was standing on a large platform made of wood. We learned about this piece by Rauschenberg and we discussed it in class, but seeing it in real life was just a different experience. His work was very innovative and in some of his pieces he allowed for his audience to become a part of the art by placing mirrors.
