Robert Rauschenberg was born in Port Arthur, Texas on October 22, 1925. After briefly attending the University of Texas to study pharmacology and serving in the US Navy during World War II, he decided to study art. He attended Kansas City Art Institute (1947-1948), and the Academie Julian, Paris (1947). Rauschenberg's first one-man show was at the Betty Parsons Gallery in 1951. In 1962, Rauschenberg made his first lithograph at Universal Limited Art Editions (ULAE) in West Islip, New York at the insistence of the late Tatyana Grosman. At the same time he incorporated the silk-screen process in his paintings. His work is included in virtually every important international collection of contemporary art.
