Rauschenberg's Tropic cover

Rauschenberg and his assistant created the piece of art in The Herald's editorial art department, where I was employed at the time, and I got a chance to see him create the cover.

“He is my Yonny Barrios, mine and no one else’s,” Valenzuela told a radio station in Colombia.
