Summary: This book recognizes collages, "readymades", "found objects", "surrealist objects", "combine paintings", and the other varieties of assemblage as diverse manifestations of a common tradition which (though fascinating parallels and prototypes can be found for it in primitive and popular art) is unique to the twentieth century. Through a broad selection of illustrations in color and black-and-white, text, and statements by many artists and critics, this book gives an account of this modern art form.
