I Was a Rich Man's Plaything
Seminal pop art collage by Eduardo Paolozzi / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I was a Rich Man's Plaything is a 1947 collage by Eduardo Paolozzi. The work was assembled with cuttings from American magazines and advertisements, mounted on card. Rich Man's Plaything is considered a seminal piece of pop art for its use of juxtaposed found objects and it was the first to include the word "pop" in its design, years before Lawrence Alloway coined the term "pop art".
