Arman
Arman Small Aleph Accumulation of Ball Bearings in Polyester Resin

1978

About the Item

1978 Ball bearings embedded in polyester resin. Edition of 30 copies + 10 AP. The work was published by Valeur, Akira Ikeda Gallery, Nagoya, Japan. Incised signature “ARMAN” and numbered “xx/3O” to lower edge. The work is sold with a certificate of authenticity from Archives Denyse Durand-Ruel, and a certificate from Fondation A.R.M.A.N., Geneva, as well as with a certificate from the Arman Studio NYC. This work is registered with Archives Denyse Duran-Ruel as no. 2844, and with Fondation A.R.M.A.N. as no. 891. Arman is a Franco-American artist best known for his unique style of found object sculpture known as accumulations. Inspired by the philosophy and aesthetics of Dadaism, he brings together forks, instruments and teapots in display cases. A member of Nouveau Réalisme alongside Yves Klein and Jean Tinguely, among others, he responds to the emergence of Pop art through his own critique of consumption, waste and mass production, particularly in his series "Poubelles" in the early 1960s. For his famous and monumental sculpture "Long-Term Parking" (1982), the artist piles up 60 cars and plunges them into cement, creating an imposing surreal structure. Born Armand Pierre Fernandez on November 17, 1928 in Nice, France, the sculptor, painter and printmaker became an American citizen in 1973. He died on October 22, 2005 in New York at the age of 76.

    By Mauro Oliveira
    Located in LOS ANGELES, CA
    **ANNUAL SUPER SALE UNTIL MAY 15TH ONLY** *This Price Won't Be Repeated Again This Year-Take Advantage Of It* "LA Gangstars" is one of the street art style Oliveira is adventuring on. The resin, the glitter and the cars are addition to make the piece even richer and more interesting. The French Bulldogs are now America's favorite dog.
