Assemblage is an artistic process in which a three-dimensional artistic composition is made from putting together found objects.Assemblage is the 3-dimensional cousin of
collage. The origin of the word (in its artistic sense) can be traced back to the early 1950s, when
Jean Dubuffet created a series of collages of butterfly wings, which he titled assemblages d'empreintes. However, both
Marcel Duchamp and
Pablo Picasso had been working with
found objects for many years prior to Dubuffet. They were not alone, alongside Duchamp the earliest woman artist to try her hand at assemblage was
Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven, the Dada Baroness, and one of the most prolific, as well as producing some of the most exciting early examples, was
Louise Nevelson, who began creating her sculptures from found pieces of wood in the late 1930s.
