Duchamp, With Hidden NoiseAssisted Readymade: ball of string between two unpolished brass plates joined by four bolts. The ball encloses a small unknown object (added by Walter Arensberg) which makes a noise when shaken, 1916
Claudia von der Heydt, Assemblage (contemporary)
"I am tempted to see in collage
the exploitation of the chance of meeting two remote realities on
an unfamiliar plane . . . cultivating the effects of a systematic
bewilderment . . . coupling two apparently uncoupleable realities
on a plane apparently unsuitable to them . . . "
(Max Ernst, "Beyond Painting", Cahiers d’Art (1936), cited in Gaëtan Picon, Surrealists and Surrealism 1919-1939 [New York: Rizzoli Publications, 1977], pp. 56,94 )
