It was issued in the December 30, 1979, edition of <em>Tropic </em>magazine,the Sunday supplement in the <em>Miami Herald</em> newspaper. Art Director Leon Rosenblatt asked Rauschenberg to make the artwork and invited the artist to pull from the paper\u2019s photo archive for source material. In what was deemed the \u201cworld\u2019s largest edition of an original lithograph,\u201d Rauschenberg took the foundational ideas of Pop Art to their logical conclusion: the mass distribution of an artist\u2019s work that self-referentially responds to the aesthetics of mass media.",
