The collage is the most important and influential artistic discovery of the twentieth century. The art-collage has been around for 100 years now but is still very much alive and thriving. Gallery [KG52] invited 21 artist from all over the world to participate in the exhibition Cut & Paste. Some have worked with collage for over 40 years and some just started out. The oldest artist is 66 and the youngest 19. Some artists are amateurs and some professionals. Many are well schooled while some are self taught. Something they all have in common is a sense of humour, playfulness and openness for the unexpected. This book includes their portraits as well as two longer texts about the theory and practice of collage in English and Swedish by Edvard Derkert.
