Bed by Robert Rauschenberg

Bed by Rauschenberg is a combine made in 1955 in which he combines painting, drawing, and sculpture all in one piece of art. Supposedly, the canvas and piece itself is actually his own bed. The bed, the quilt, and pillows are his very own personal belongings, which is something very different from typical pieces of art. He starts out with pencil markings at the top of the bed, then slowly progresses to dripping and splattering paint down to the quilt. It's very reminiscent of Jackson Pollock's art style of splatter paint.
