Dear Mr. Fletcher:

In this April, 1959, issue of Charm Magazine on page 37 you will find a useful bit of information about Robert Rauschenberg, as well as a photograph of him with many of his 'combines', some of which have in the meantime been sold, or are travelling in shows, etc. If you follow Arts Magazine and Art News you will have seen articles pro and con in the February and March issues of this year. Also in the January-February-March, 1959, issue of CIMAISE, the French publication on pages 23 (photo) and 28 and 29 (text); in Newsweek of March 31, 1958 are photo and text. The American Federation of Arts has three of his works scheduled to travel in their 'Art and the Found Object' exhibition, and another in the 'Corcoran Biennial' traveling show, which shows may come to your area. The address of the A F A is 1083 Fifth Ave., New York, N.Y. I am enclosing a biography in some detail, and a list of his more important showings, and the collection of importance in which he is represented. 

I hope this information will be of help to you. 

Sincerely yours, 

Leo Castelli
