From a historical point of view, Nouveau Réalist works seem to be both an entry in 1960s art and society, and a major part of the foundations which make up the the way in which objects were used in 20^th century art – from Picasso’s collages and Duchamp’s Ready-Made until today.

Due to the radical nature of their gestures and subject matter, the works also hold relevance as ways of understanding current art forms for those attempting to reassess the concept of art and the artist in the context of today’s consumer society by reasserting the humanistic ideals in the face of industrial expansion and globalisation.
