Description

This exhibition showcases over 60 assemblages, collages, readymades and sculptures by 30 artists from the Museum’s extensive collection of modern and contemporary art. As suggested by the title, the exhibition explores the myriad ways artists take nontraditional art materials and discarded objects from everyday life and transform them into works of art. Spanning more than 80 years, from 1920 to 2002, and traversing critical artistic movements—from Dadaism in the 1920s to the Beat era in the 1950s and 1960s to the present—Lost but Found features important examples by some of the central figures working in collage and assemblage during the last century.
