Robert Rauschenberg Foundation Plans to Sell the Artist’s Longtime NYC Home
['News Desk']

Robert Rauschenberg’s home at 381 Lafayette Street in New York’s NoHo neighborhood is listed with commercial real estate company Newmark, Artnet News reports.
The early-nineteenth-century town house, which Rauschenberg bought in 1965, once housed an orphanage and a convent.
It has served as the headquarters of the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation since the death of the painter—one of the most important American artists of the twentieth century—in 2008.
Among the options the foundation has considered to date are a possible move to another space.
The Captiva Civic Association described it as a “grievous betrayal by the Rauschenberg Foundation.”
