The journey of collage has witnessed material and technological shifts from scissors and glue to image appropriation, rephotography, arrangements of pictures and digital image renderings. But the logic of collage has endured since its inception. The Ends of Collage anthologizes texts on collage ranging from the early 20th century to the present. The theoretical motivations that precipitated the emergence of collage are placed in conversation with those that expanded the medium beyond its traditional limits in the late 1970s, with the rise of digital culture. The 19 essays gathered here are written by acclaimed artists, theorists and historians such as Yuval Etgar, Herta Wescher, Christine Poggi, Clement Greenberg, Elza Adamowicz, Louis Aragon, Max Ernst, Jean Arp, Hannah Höch, Benjamin H. D. Buchloh, Brandon Taylor, John Stezaker, Groupe ?, Craig Owens, Douglas Crimp, Richard Prince, Sherrie Levine, Martha Rosler and Ali Smith.

An original history of nonconsensual collaboration between artists, from Francis Picabia to Maurizio Cattelan 
From cannibalistic acts of modification or alteration of another’s work to the hijacking of authorship through the addition of a signature, to occasions when the identities of artists or their creations are confused, this innovative history traces acts of artistic modification from Dada to the present. 
Whether examining a drawing by Pablo Picasso signed as Henri Matisse, or a coffee table executed by Martin Kippenberger using a painting by Gerhard Richter as its surface, Bad Manners raises questions about the nature of artistic authorship, standards of collegial etiquette, plagiarism and ownership. 
Bad Manners is thoroughly and unmistakably an endeavor by British art provocateur Jake Chapman, and features a conversation between the artist and curator Yuval Etgar. 
Artists include: Jean (Hans) Arp, Enrico Baj, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Paul Cezanne, Jake and Dinos Chapman, Marcel Duchamp, Wade Guyton, Richard Hamilton, David Hammons, Keith Haring, Georg Herold, Martin Kippenberger, Sherrie Levine, René Magritte, Man Ray, Édouard Manet, Francis Picabia, Pablo Picasso, Richard Prince, Robert Rauschenberg, Cindy Sherman, Jean Tinguely and Francesco Vezzoli.

Collage is one of the most popular and pervasive of all art-forms, yet this is the first historical survey book ever published on the subject. 
Featuring over 200 works, ranging from the 1500s to the present day, it offers an entirely new approach. Hitherto, collage has been presented as a twentieth-century phenomenon, linked in particular to Pablo Picasso and Cubism in the years just before the First World War. In Cut and Paste: 400 Years of Collage, we trace its origins back to books and prints of the 1500s, through to the boom in popularity of scrapbooks and do-it-yourself collage during the Victorian period, and then through Cubism, Futurism, Dada and Surrealism. Collage became the technique of choice in the 1960s and 1970s for anti-establishment protest, and in the present day is used by millions of us through digital devices. The definition of collage employed here is a broad one, encompassing cut-and-pasted paper, photography, patchwork, film and digital technology and ranging from work by professionals to unknown makers, amateurs and children.
