found art

The phrase exists and is real. You can find it in Google Books. Do not delete. Equinox ◑ 18:11, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

Equinox—there is no such thing as found art—aside from art which has been found. If you are walking down the street and you find a work of art—that is found art. But that is not what our term refers to. Our term "found object" is defined by such sources as the Tate. The Tate refers to it as an "art term". The Tate defines it as follows: "A found object is a natural or man-made object, or fragment of an object, that is found (or sometimes bought) by an artist and kept because of some intrinsic interest the artist sees in it". Notice the absence of any reference to "found art". Can we find the phrase "found art" in Google Books searches? Of course. But no good quality source, such as the Tate, is going to construe a "found object" as "found art". This is an understandable error but there is no reason we should perpetuate that error.
