The Rauschenberg Overseas Culture Interchange began in 1982 when the artist journied to Mexico, China, Germany and the Soviet Union to encourage the vital role of contemporary art in world peace. Rauschenberg's work conveys his passion for nuclear disarmament, deep ecology, and international cohesiveness.

For the first time, a touring exhibition of Robert Rauschenberg's combines and hangings travels en masse from New York to one man shows in Los Angeles, Australia, and Europe.
