Josh,
Background information on collage art, one collage artist of renown Kurt Schwitters,is generally acknowledged as the twentieth century greatest master of collage art. Though not a direct participant in Dada activities, he employed Dada ideas in his work, such as his Merz works – art pieces built up of found objects; some were very small, some took the form of large constructions, or what would later be called “installations”. The Sprengel Museum in Hanover has a reconstruction of the best known of these installations, called Merzbau. For more information see

Schwitters collages can sell for up to $200,000 and are highly sort after by major collectors, museums and art gallery’s through out the world.
