Description:
"The original lithograph was commissioned by the Metropolitan Museum of Art on the occasion of its one hundredth anniversary. The proclamation was composed by Rauschenberg and signed by the officials of the museum. It reads:

Treasury of the conscience of man. Masterworks collected, protected and celebrated commonly. Timeless in concept the museum amasses to concertise a moment of pride serving to defend the dreams and ideals apolitically of mankind aware and responsive to the changes, needs and complexities of current life while keeping history and love alive."
