The Definition Of Assemblage

Answer 1

 

An assemblage is a category of sculpture constructed ("assembled") from found or scavenged objects and man-made materials. The term was first used in 1953 by the French artist and writer Jean Dubuffet¹. The boxes of Joseph Cornell and Combines of Robert Rauschenberg are examples of assemblage.

 

Assemblage differs from collage in (theoretically) being a three-dimensional artwork, whereas collage is two dimensional, though the boundary between the two can be blurred.
