What is Found Object?

A found object is a term used to describe a man-made or natural object, or a fragment of one, that an artist discovers or purchases and keeps for inspiration or as a work of art. The artist may also modify the object or incorporate it into a collage or assemblage, transforming it into a new piece of art.

Catalogue Raisonne

A Catalogue Raisonné is an annotated and comprehensive listing of all the known works of an artist. It includes detailed information that helps to identify and authenticate the artist's output across all media or within a specific medium. Typical details in a catalogue raisonné include the title, dimensions, date, medium, and current location of each work. This resource is essential for scholars, collectors, and art historians in tracking and verifying the complete body of work by an artist.

Original artwork

Original artwork

Original artwork is art that stems directly from the personal inspiration and creativity of an artist. It is not a direct copy of another artist’s work, though it may be inspired by it. The subject matter can be similar, but it cannot be an exact replication. The term also refers to a unique piece, as opposed to a multiple or edition.
