Robert Rauschenberg hat zusammen mit Jasper Johns, Andy Warhol und Roy Lichtenstein in den 1960er Jahren die Revolution der Pop Art eingeleitet. Rauschenbergs spätere Karriere war eine Zeit, in der der Künstler an experimentellen und innovativen Projekten arbeitete, darunter die 1993 entstandene "Prime Pump from ROCI USA (Wax Fire Works Series)". Diese Serie stammt aus dem philanthropischen Projekt des Künstlers, "ROCI USA", und demonstriert "Rauschenbergs Glauben an die Kraft der Kunst als Katalysator für einen positiven sozialen Wandel." Der Hinweis auf "Wachsfeuer" im Titel ist Rauschenbergs Bezeichnung für Enkaustik - heißes Wachs mit Farbpigmenten -, die er in anderen Werken der Serie verwendete.

Dieses in einer kleinen Auflage von nur 17 Exemplaren gefertigte Werk beinhaltet die Druckgrafik, ein Medium, zu dem er oft zurückkehrte, um neue Möglichkeiten der Bildüberlagerung zu erkunden. Rauschenberg arbeitete seit den frühen 1960er Jahren an Editionen, als er ein fester Bestandteil der Druckereien ULAE und Gemini G.E.L. war. Rauschenbergs Druckgrafiken und Editionen waren für den Künstler eine Erweiterung des kreativen Akts; durch seine Editionen konnte er skulpturale und 3D-Effekte erzielen.
