For this show, curator Michael Shortell has chosen a variety of works to illustrate the field of contemporary collage and assemblage and its evolution since the early 20th century.
According to Mr. Shortell, he has chosen works from many areas of the genre to show “how far contemporary artists have come in technique and content from the simple newspaper cutouts of early Cubism.”
