Reference
as per the Rauschenberg Foundation website, "Based on more than thirty unique compositions Rauschenberg created during a brief but intense period after leaving Cape Canaveral, the thirty-four lithographs in Rauschenberg’s Stoned Moon Series were produced in collaboration with Ken Tyler, a master printer at Los Angeles–based Gemini G.E.L. studios." And, " In other prints, such as Ape (which is in part a sly reference to NASA’s use of animals as passengers on their earliest flights) or Strawboss, one finds images of astrolabes, a device used by astronomers and navigators since antiquity to locate and predict the position of various heavenly bodies."
