In March 1958, after the city condemned their Pearl Street building, Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns moved to another industrial loft at 128 Front Street. Rauschenberg took the second floor, and Johns took the third. There Rauschenberg began exploring his relationship to the past by incorporating references to classical mythology and literature, and he set out to create a drawing for each of the 34 cantos of Dante's Inferno, in a contemporary interpretation of the poet’s imaginary journey through the netherworld. For nearly two years, Rauschenberg read one canto at a time; then he created a drawing using a solvent-transfer technique using lighter fluid. The series Thirty-Four Illustrations (1958–60) features modern-day images that Rauschenberg culled from popular illustrated magazines like Sports Illustrated, Life, and Time. Rauschenberg then added other elements with pencil, crayon, wash, gouache, and collage.
