Seitz, William C.

The art of assemblage / William Chapin Seitz - New York, : Museum of Modern Art; distributed by Doubleday, Garden City, N.Y. , [1961] - 176 p. : illus. (part col.) ; 25 cm.

Includes bibliographies.

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.
