// Collage Bierdeckel auf Karton by Herbert Zangs is a minimalist composition created in 1953, showcasing the artist's fascination with everyday materials and repetition. This collage is constructed from beer coasters arranged in a grid-like pattern on cardboard, resulting in a structured, geometric aesthetic. Zangs' choice of a monochromatic palette emphasizes texture and form over color, inviting viewers to contemplate the tactile qualities and subtle imperfections within each coaster. This work is a testament to Zangs' experimental approach in the 1950s, where he explored unconventional materials and processes to question traditional boundaries in art. Measuring 60 cm in height and 81 cm in width, this piece embodies a unique interaction between ordinary objects and artistic expression.

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.
