More information
Titeln "Araucan Mastaba, Roci Chile" syftar till Araucanindianerna, en ursprungsbefolkning i södra Chile vars rötter går tillbaka till Inkaindianerna. Rauschenberg har här tagit fasta på att de arbetade mycket med silver. Mastaba är en fornegyptisk gravöverbyggnad av massivt tegel eller sten med inåtlutande sidor, rektangulärt grundplan och platt topp.
