Vitamin C+ : Collage in Contemporary Art

Entries on Adam Broomberg, Nico Krijno, and Gerde Scheepers included in Phaidon’s Vitamin C+, a survey of contemporary artists working with collage as medium and mode.

From the publisher:

“Over 100 global artists working with collage, as chosen by a team of art experts – an indispensable who's who of the most exciting and innovative names working in the medium

Collage is an artistic language comprising found images, fragmentary forms, and unexpected juxtapositions. While it first gained status as high art in the early twentieth century, the past decade has seen a fresh explosion of artists using this dynamic and experimental approach to image-making.

Taking a broad definition – from analogue cut-and-paste compositions and photomontages to digitally composed imagery and animations – Vitamin C+ showcases 108 living artists who employ collage as a central part of their visual-art practice, as selected by 69 leading experts, including museum directors, curators, critics, and collectors. The survey also features an engaging and informative introduction by Yuval Etgar, an internationally renowned expert in the area.”
