We meet artists such as Njideka Akunyili Crosby; Ellen Gallagher; Peter Kennard; Linder, Christian Marclay; Wangechi Mutu; Deborah Roberts; Martha Rosler; and Mickalene Thomas, among others, and a host of lesser-known names who deserve greater attention. The artists in the book have been selected by 69 leading experts, including museum directors, curators, critics, and collectors.

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

The author, Yuval Etgar, is a curator and art historian specializing in the history and theory of collage and image appropriation.
