Joseph Cornell was one of the pioneers of assemblage, and remains one of the most influential artists for this type of art.

Assemblage is an artwork made of other objects.

Sculpture Sculpture is 3- dimensional. It has form. Height, length, and width.

Free-standing sculpture can be viewed from 360 degrees- all angles.

Assemblage – making art out of objects (junk art) Constructed from parts of other objects.

Lynne Parks was born and raised in Northern Virginia, she now resides in Baltimore, MD

Her work is made of “crates” of wood grouped together to make a large unified work that could be called “assemblages,” often in shallow-relief, which were painted over in a single color. She used everyday discarded things others had thrown away. This started when, during the Second World War, art supplies were scarcely available, so she turned to whatever was around her—vegetable boxes, cartons, canisters. Louise Nevelson
