Over 100 global artists working with collage, as chosen by art experts, now available in paperback for the first time
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 analog cut-and-paste compositions and photomontages to digital composed imagery and animations – Vitamin C+, now available in paperback, 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.
Organised in an A-Z sequence by artist, the book features both well-known collagists including Njideka Akunyili Crosby Ellen Gallagher Peter Kennard Linder, Christian Marclay Wangechi Mutu Deborah Roberts Martha Rosler and Mickalene Thomas, and a plethora of lesser-known names deserving of greater attention.
The 69 expert nominators include: Cecilia Alemani Iwona Blazwick David Campany Raphael Chikukwa Patrick Elliott Max Hollein Hettie Judah Christine Macel Roxana Marcoci Duro Olowu Scott Rothkopf Russell Tovey Zoe Whitley and Heidi Zuckerman.
