// Collage 2 - E by Daniel Spoerri, a 2017 collage on paper, showcases the artist’s playful approach to mixed media and abstraction. In this piece, a fluid, red brushstroke arcs across the composition, giving a sense of motion and spontaneity. An element of texture is added with a fabric patch featuring a blue letter e, positioned near a circular stamp marked Oeuvre d'Art and Daniel Spoerri. Spoerri’s signature appears in the lower corner, grounding the work with his personal mark. The combination of stamp, textural patch, and sweeping red stroke invites viewers to consider the interplay between language, texture, and gestural expression.

What is Nouveau Realism?
Nouveau Réalisme is an artistic movement founded in 1960 by art critic Pierre Restany and painter Yves Klein during a collective exhibition at a gallery in Milan. Restany wrote the original manifesto in April 1960, proclaiming the movement. In October of that year, nine artists, including Martial Raysse, Yves Klein, Daniel Spoerri, Jean Tinguely, Arman, Pierre Restany, and three Ultra-Lettrists—Jacques de la Villeglé, François Dufrêne, and Raymond Hains—signed the declaration. In 1961, the movement expanded to include Mimmo Rotella, Niki de Saint Phalle, Gérard Deschamps, and César. The movement emphasized a return to reality in art, often incorporating everyday objects and exploring the boundaries between art and life.
