Artist Papers Over Rauschenberg Print To Resell As New Art

On Monday, artist Nikolas Bentel will auction off a Robert Rauschenberg print for, he hopes, $20,000. Except it won’t a Robert Rauschenberg print anymore. It will be covered in advertisements for people and firms—including a graphic depiction of a six-inch penis—that Bentel has attracted to his mission to destroy a Rauschenberg and create a new work of art.
