"diorama" on display

The wall text reads as follows:

This piece is an homage to Robert Rauschenberg, Jasper Johns, and their relationship. Interestingly enough, though these two men were lovers, and did help each other with conceptual ideas, they managed to keep their art stylistically separate. I'm interested in an art work's context, because art is never created in a vacuum. This box appropriates and unites their distinctive imagery: Rauschenberg's "Bed" and "Monogram"; Johns's "White Flag" and "Target".
