![]() The artists, featured in alphabetical order, are from 40 different countries as well as different cultures, contexts and generations. The resulting collection reflects, as historian Yuval Etgar writes in the book’s introduction, “the delicate balance between the potential and limitations implied by the practice.” While offering a wide range of interpretations on the art form, the monograph “constitutes a reminder of what is most at stake in contemporary collage: namely, the delimitation of edges and peripheries within a field whose territorial contours are virtually impossible to identify, and are in a state of permanent flux.” For this latest issue, Phaidon solicited the participation of 69 experts - museum directors, curators, collectors and critics - and tasked them with selecting 108 artists who currently use collage as a central component in their artistic practice. The series aims to take the pulse of different artistic disciplines, and to identify new practices and trends as they emerge. These are the question that give shape to a new project just published by Phaidon Press, Vitamin C+: Collage in Contemporary Art, the latest volume of the publisher’s Vitamin series, which was first launched in 2002.
