Craig Starr Gallery, 2019, First edition, 80 pp., 10" X 12", Hardcover

A scarce copy of the catalogue for the exhibition, Robert Rauschenberg: Stoned Moon, 1969-1970, which ran from May 30-July 26, 2019 at the Craig Starr Gallery, NY.

Rauschenberg's Stoned Moon Book which was created in relation to  the Stoned Moon print series (1969–70). The book was intended for publication but never realized. The original drawings for Stoned Moon Book are collages comprised of photographs, media images, transfer images, and text by Rauschenberg in dialogue with curator Henry Hopkins. They record Rauschenberg’s own written account of witnessing the launch of Apollo 11 in 1969 and his subsequent print project at Gemini, G.E.L., Los Angeles, encapsulating his reflections on the lunar landing mission of 1969.
