One person’s trash can easily be another person’s treasure. This is especially true for assemblage art. In this artistic genre, the artists create a work of art using almost entirely “found” objects as their materials and medium. These masterpieces often become commentaries on the objects themselves, and can give even the most commonplace things a whole new meaning.
