About the Item
Arman Statue of Liberty features a recurring motif in the artist’s body of work. Throughout his career, Arman has worked with themes and techniques of “accumulations” and “deconstructions"—works of art that he either smashed, sliced, or burned. These objects tended to be musical instruments, sculptural reproductions, and even furniture. He began creating his “deconstructions” in 1959 with his violin brules, instruments that he dissected into their wood panels. The motivation behind his artistic action is to suspend the action of deconstruction and control the final stages of an object’s life span. His object oriented approach harkens back to Marcel Duchamp. Yet, Arman differentiates himself by saying, “As I evolved into object art, I found myself being called a pop artist, but the term isn’t exactly right. Pop artists redo the object. I used the real object. Marcel Duchamp, who is the obvious father of object art, might have taken a soup can and put it on a pedestal. Andy Warhol would repaint the soup can. Jasper Johns would cast it in bronze. I’d take the soup can and cut it into pieces or weld hundreds of them together in order to change the state of the object from what it was when you first saw it in the supermarket. My interest is in exploring the various worlds of the object."
This unique view of the Statue of Liberty entices the eye to explore its many layers of diverse perspectives in interpretation. Each piece of the original statue is divided and staggered, retaining its original form despite the image of deconstruction. Sitting atop her head is her famous gold crown. The torch in her right hand is also colored with a brilliant gold sheen. Throughout the colors, one can still discern the intricate folds of her robe and the details of her costume. Her facial features are subtly discernible, encouraging a closer study.
This cast bronze sculpture with green oxidized patina is an artist’s proof, numbered from the edition of 20; aside from the numbered edition of 100.

- Victor Salmones Signed Bronze Bust of a Young ChildBy Victor SalmonesLocated in Los Angeles, CAAn untitled signed bronze sculpture by the Mexican artist, Victor Salmones (1937 - 1989) from an edition of 10. Numbered 1 of 10. Signature "Victor Salmones. 1/10" in cast. In excellent original condition. Victor Salmones (1937-1989) was the most widely known sculptor living and working in Mexico during his lifetime. His sculptures won him universal acclaim and are held in the collections of museums, corporations, cities, universities and private collectors in some 30 countries. During his career, he was highly sought after and increasingly involved in the execution of commissions for major public works around the world. Salmones developed his love and talent for creating sculpture by working with clay in high school. He attended the Instituto de Bellas Artes (Mexican National Institute of Fine Arts), where he was an apprentice to the Bauhaus master, Otto Hoffman. He was trained to use the exacting, age-old lost wax method of casting and worked principally in bronze. Hoffman's encouragement led to the opening of Victor's own sculpture workshop in Cuernavaca in 1966. In 1967, Salmones’ fluid bronze “Adam” won first prize at the Biennale Exposition of the National Museum of Modern Art. His work continued to win the highest critical acclaim at subsequent Biennale expositions, and in 1971, over hundreds of entries, his life-size bronze Narcissus...Category
