Additional Details: This limited edition print by the renowned artist Arman is a profound exploration of his philosophy on the nature of objects and destruction. Arman, a pivotal figure in the Nouveau Réalisme movement, famously stated, "There is no difference between accumulating objects or smashing an object. [One thousand] objects are not fundamentally different from 1,000 pieces of the same object. There is also a logic to destruction. If you break a rectangular box, you arrive at something cubist. If you break a violin you get something romantic."

The print measures 18 x 24 inches (45.72 x 60.96 cm) and is signed and numbered in pencil by Arman, with an edition size limited to 100, adding to its exclusivity and collectible value. Arman’s work often involves the accumulation and destruction of objects, transforming everyday items into art that challenges traditional perceptions.

This piece encapsulates Arman's unique approach, emphasizing the aesthetic and conceptual significance of both creation and destruction. The idea that breaking objects can reveal new forms and meanings is central to his work, making this print a quintessential example of his artistic vision. See less
