The Drawing Society 41 East Sixty-Fifth Street, New York, N.Y. 10021 Mr. Robert Rauschenberg 381 Lafayette Street New York, N. Y. 10003 Dear Mr. Rauschenberg: It is my pleasure to invite you to participate in The Drawing Society's second New York Regional Drawing Exhibition scheduled from March 9th to May 9th, 1970 at the Cooper-Hewitt Museum of Decorative Arts and Design. Seven other regional drawing exhibitions are being held at The Addison Gallery of American Art, Andover, Mass.; The Philadelphia Museum of Art; The High Museum of Art, Atlanta; The Indianapolis Museum of Art; The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; The University of California at Santa Barbara and The Vancouver Art Gallery. From the regional exhibitions will be selected the national exhibition which will travel for approximately a year beginning in the fall of 1970. The drawings lent to the New York regional exhibition should have been completed within the last five years. Each should qualify under the broad definition of "drawing" as stated in our suggested procedures: "An original work of art, preferably on paper, in any medium (i.e. pencil, crayon, pastel, ink, watercolor, collage, or various mixed media), which does not cover fully the surface and is predominantly linear in character." The curator, and his affiliation, shown below will contact you to offer his assistance in the selection for the exhibition and to answer any questions you might have. Your works will be insured and may be listed for sale through you or your representative. Drawings selected for the national exhibition will travel until the late fall of 1971. Only one drawing from each artist can be included in the national show. Although there will be no size limitation for the regional drawing exhibition, the national show, because of framing and shipping difficulties, will have to limit the size of the drawings to a maximum of 48" x 48". I am sending you under separate cover a copy of the catalogue of the 1965 national exhibition. We shall look forward to having your work in our second series of regional drawing shows. Sincerely, JBiddle James Biddle President Curator: Mr. John McKendry, Department of Prints Affiliation: The Metropolitan Museum of Art Bob says forward this to you.
