Everyday,onmyartsite,theJealousCurator,Iwriteaboutcontemporaryartistswhomakeme“jealous.”Jealousinaninspirationalway—withmaybejustasmallpunchtothecreativegut.I’manartistmyself,andwhenIfindworkthatmakesmethink,“OhIwishIthoughtofthat,”IknowthatI’vegottomorrow’spost.Iwouldguessthatatleasthalfofthesepostsareaboutmixed-mediaandcollageartists.Foundimagesyouneverwouldhavedreamedofseeingpaired,arenowforevergluedasone.Alonelyblack-and-whitephotographisgivennewlifewhenstitchedoverwithrainbow-huedembroiderythread.Bookcoversbecomecanvasesandsausagesbecomeguns.Anythingispossiblewithapairofscissorsandabitofglue.Imakecollagesofmyown,andIwriteaboutotherartists’collagesallthetime.Andthatobsessionisthegermofthisbook.

Usingfoundimageryisdefinitelynotanewidea.OneofthemostfamouspiecesfromthePopArtera,forexample,isRichardHamilton’scollageJustwhatisitthatmakestoday’shomessodifferent,soappealing?,1956.ItiswidelyacknowledgedasoneoftheearliestpiecesofPopArt,literallybringingpopculturefromthepagesofmagazinestothegallerywall.And,ifyougobackalittlefurtherinarthistory,evenPicassousedfoundimagery,duringhiscubistperiod.Theseartistsgaveexistingimagesanentirelynewpurpose,andcreatedsomethingfreshfromimagesandideasthatwerealreadyveryestablishedintheirmeaning.Familyphotos,crumpledpostcards,scribbled-onbookpages—eachoftheseforgottenitems,inthehandsoftwentieth-centurycollageartists,hadthepotentialtobecomeamasterpiece.

Infact,it’sthetreasurehunt—thefindingandsortingandselectingofimages—thatisformanythemostrewardingpartoftheprocess.Nothingmakesacollagisthappierthandiggingthroughaboxofimagesorastackofbooksuntilweuncoverthatperfectimage—thekindofimagethatstopstheheart,

EverytimeIfinda“perfectimage,”IinstantlyenvisionwhatImightdotoit.WhatwillIkeep,whatwillItakeaway,whatshouldIadd?Inthatsamemoment,IwonderwhatsomeofthecollageartistsIadmiremostwoulddowithit.WhatwouldJesseDraxlerkeep?WhatmightBethHoeckelthrowaway?WhatwouldAnthonyZinonosaddtothisphotograph?Well,insteadofwondering,Iaskedthem.Orchallengedthem,youmightevensay.Ingatheringtogetherthethirtyartistsfromaroundtheworldtobeinthisbook,Ididn’tjustaskthemtosharetheirexistingwork.Igaveeachoftheseamazingcontemporarymixed-mediacollageartiststheexactsameimage:avintage,familyphotoofacowboyandhismustache-clad,accordion-playingbrother,circa1958(seepage13).Theyalltookthisblack-and-whitevintagegembacktotheirstudios,andthenproceededtochopandglueandpaintandsew.Theyemergedwiththirtyentirelyuniquemasterpieces.
