Retaining a certain lightness of form, this stunning sculpture clearly exemplifies Arman's delicate touch when working with metal. Remarkably designed, this piece retains a sense of uniformity despite its disconnected appearance addressing the concept of unity amidst division. |

| Descripción Histórica: | |
| Sliced vertically into three, delicate pieces, Arman creates an exquisite, nearly
life size sculpture of a saxophone. Though this saxophone is disjointed and
disconnected, it retains a sense of uniformity, as if the pieces could easily
fit back together to form a solid instrument. Separated, however, the piece
relays a sense of fragility; the instrument appears to nearly float above its
dark green, marble base, connected only by thin, bronze, strips that quiver
at the slightest movement. Arman does not lose any detail in this depiction;
each lever and button is clearly conveyed in this sculpture; so accurate is
his depiction that the viewer cannot help but feel as if Arman cut a real instrument
rather than casting it in bronze with nickel plating. Created in 1984, this original bronze sculpture with nickel plating is hand signed by Fernandez Arman (Nice, 128 - New York, 2005) along the lower side of the sculpture and also annotated E.A. (Epreuve d'Artiste or artist's proof) along the lower side of the sculpture. | |

Arman biografía
Arman (1928 - 2005)
Armand Fernandez. French born sculptor who settled in New York in 1963 and became an American citizen in 1972. He was born in Nice and studied briefly in Paris at the Ecole des Arts Decoratifs and the Ecole du Louvre. In 1957, with his friend Yves Klein, he decided to be known by his first name only, and the form 'Arman' was adopted in 1958 as the result of a printer's error on the cover of a catalogue. Like Klein, he was interested in Japanese culture, particularly Zen Buddhism, and (again like Klein) he worked for a time as a judo instructor. In the early 1960s Arman gained a reputation as one of the leading exponents of Nouveau Réalisme and he is best known for his assemblages of junk material. These range from modest collections of household debris (Accumulation of Sliced Teapots, Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, 1964) to a huge tower (about 20 meters high) of 60 automobiles embedded in cement (Long-Term Parking, Cartier Museum, jouy-en-josas, 1982).
