Found Art Edit Meaning

1.

Any object that is acquired in some random place and stuck in a museum, sometimes displayed with elaborate lighting. This is somehow supposed to be considered creative and artistic.

Paul Theks 'Missiles and Bunnies (1983)' is a perfect example of such thrown together silliness. In the art world, this work would be appropriately termed "found art," in attempt to somehow increase the credibility of a collection of random piles of junk.
