More research, different routes

I've been looking through the Wikipedia page on found art and the artists listed there, I know, not the academically preferred site though I trust it enough that I feel comfortable using it. Listed below are some of the artists I found to be interesting in either the way they worked (beliefs/ideals, method) or in what they used in making their pieces. I've got about 16 more to go although Micheal Craig Martin might make the list after I do some more reading about him, I like his style and how he goes about creating, I just want to look at more of his works first.

Another aspect of my project

Here is a partial example of another aspect/part of my project. I want to find objects people have either had since childhood (a favorite toy for example) or just something they really wanted at some point in the past and compare its current condition with how it looked brand new.

I have here a statuette of Aeon Flux, an animated television character, that has been through quite a bit, an earthquake and changes of residence. I have found it retailing for $89.99 currently and I am still doing some research for the price when it first came out.
