Editing Found object (section)

==Other types of found objects==
===Commodity sculpture===

In the 1980s, a variation of found objects emerged called ''commodity sculpture'' where commercially mass-produced items would be arranged in the art gallery as sculpture. The focus of this variety of sculpture was on the marketing, display of products. These artists included [[Jeff Koons]], [[Haim Steinbach]], and [[Ashley Bickerton]] (who later moved on to do other kinds of work).

One of [[Jeff Koons]]' early signature works was ''Two Ball 50/50 Tank'', 1985, which consisted of two basketballs floating in water, which half-fills a glass tank.

A specific subgenre of found objects is known as '''trash art''' or '''junk art'''.<ref>Marshall Raeburn Found Object Art: [http://marshallraeburn.com "Stuff I Made from Junk"], 2009.</ref> These works primarily comprise components that have been discarded. Often they come quite literally from the trash. One example of trash art is [[trashion]], fashion made from trash. [[Marina DeBris]] takes trash from the beach and creates dresses, vests, and other clothes. Many organizations sponsor junk art competitions. Trash art may also have a social purpose, of raising awareness of trash.<ref>Heal the Bay. News and Blog feature story, no date given.

Creating and using trash art can expose people to hazardous substances. For instance, older computer and electronic components can contain lead (in solder and insulation). Jewelry made from these items may require careful handling. In France, trash art became known as "Poubellisme", art made from contents of "poubelles" (trash bins).{{citation needed|date=November 2022}}
