中文简介：

拼贴是一种艺术形式，它使用发现的图像、零碎的形式和意想不到的并置来创作视觉效果。虽然它在20世纪初首次获得了高级艺术的地位，但近十年来，越来越多使用这种动态和实验性图像制作方法的艺术家涌现出来。

本书按艺术家的A-Z顺序编排，包括了知名的拼贴艺术家，如Njideka Akunyili Crosby、Ellen Gallagher、Peter Kennard、Linder、Christian Marclay、Wangechi Mutu、Deborah Roberts、Martha Rosler和Mickalene Thomas等人，同时也涵盖了许多不太为人所知但值得更多关注的艺术家。本书从模拟剪贴合成和摄影合成到数字合成图像和动画，展示了108位在世的艺术家，他们将拼贴作为其视觉艺术实践的核心部分，这些艺术家由69位权威专家，包括博物馆馆长、策展人、评论家和收藏家选出。该调查还包括该领域国际知名专家尤瓦尔·埃特加（Yuval Etgar）所作的引人入胜、内容丰富的介绍。

英文简介：

Collage is an artistic language comprising found images, fragmentary forms, and unexpected juxtapositions. While it first gained status as high art in the early twentieth century, the past decade has seen a fresh explosion of artists using this dynamic and experimental approach to image making.

Organised in an A-Z sequence by artist, the book features both well-known collagists including Njideka Akunyili Crosby; Ellen Gallagher; Peter Kennard; Linder, Christian Marclay; Wangechi Mutu; Deborah Roberts; Martha Rosler; and Mickalene Thomas, and a plethora of lesser-known names deserving of greater attention. Taking a broad definition – from analog cut-and-paste compositions and photomontages to digital composed imagery and animations – Vitamin C+ showcases 108 living artists who employ collage as a central part of their visual-art practice, as selected by 69 leading experts, including museum directors, curators, critics, and collectors. The survey also features an engaging and informative introduction by Yuval Etgar, an internationally renowned expert in the area.
