Art was inevitably affected from this alteration. Before the first part of 20th century, when ordinary daily objects such as a chair, a urinal, a shovel instead started to turn art objects, art viewers have not seen art works except the ones realized with stone or metal, later on they started to see art works created with every kind of waste materials such as plastic bags, bottles, fabric toys in important galleries and art collections. This text will be constructed on the idea of reuse of waste materials in the area of art as merchantable meta and it aims to display changes of art's material in historical process from past until today.
