Art made by assembling disparate elements from everyday or found objects. Assemblages are often associated with movements such as Dadaism, Neo-Dadaism, Arte Povera and Young British Artists. The term was coined by the artist Jean Dubuffet in the 1950s and notable artists include Marcel Duchamp, Robert Rauschenberg, Kurt Schwitters, Joseph Cornell, Louise Nevelson and Jean Tinguely.
