Bed is one of Robert Rauschenberg's first Combines, works in which he affixed cast-off items, such as tires or old furniture, to a traditional support.

“Combine” is a term Rauschenberg invented to describe a series of works that combine aspects of painting and sculpture. Virtually eliminating all distinctions between these artistic categories, the Combines either hang on the wall or are freestanding.
The work is about the same size as a twin mattress. It looks like a half-made bed hanging vertically on the wall. To make it, Rauschenberg combined everyday objects including a quilt, sheet, and pillow, with more conventional art materials like paint and pencil. He called this type of work a “combine.”

Rauschenberg was primarily a painter and a sculptor, but he also worked with photography, printmaking, papermaking and performance.
