LACMA buys seven works, led by Rauschenberg and Sullivan

LACMA buys seven works, led by Rauschenberg and Sullivan: "Sometimes bigger is better when buying art by committee. At this year’s Collectors Committee weekend, the L.A. County Museum of Art bought $2.5-million worth of artwork to add to its permanent collection, including two larger-than-life works: a 60-foot-long Robert Rauschenberg screenprint that shows a collage of newspaper articles from 1970, bought for $775,000, and a nearly 10-foot-tall elevator surround that Louis Sullivan designed around 1892 for the Chicago Stock Exchange Building, bought for $177,500."
