Process category
Assemblage
Constructing a three-dimensional work from assembled components or found elements, recorded only where institutional evidence explicitly supports the term or process.
Atlas / technique
Techniques
Documented process vocabulary, separated from myth and from artist-style imitation.
Process category
Collage / cut-and-paste construction
Building a work by cutting, pasting, overlapping, or otherwise joining distinct planar materials. AEU applies this only when the catalog medium or source explicitly supports collage construction.
Process category
Direct tube application
Applying oil paint directly from the tube to the support, as documented for George Morrison's Untitled (1961).
Process category
Gelatin silver printing
Photographic gelatin silver print process, normalized only when the institutional catalog medium records it.
Process category
Ink staining through absorbent paper
A paper-based staining process in which liquid ink penetrates absorbent sheets; the AEU fixture uses this term only for Pollock’s c. 1951 work documented by MoMA.
Process category
Pour, drip, and fling
A generalized process category for applying fluid paint by pouring, dripping, flicking, or flinging rather than only brushing conventionally.
Process category
Welding
Joining metal elements by welding, recorded only where an object or institutional source explicitly documents the process or a welded medium.
