Arman

Arman pays homage to his love of music in this monumental work. 28 violins of varnished iron are represented in this rhythmic, fabulous piece, part sculpture, part installation.

Displaying Arman's love of the violin, this work adeptly captures both the solidity of the instrument and the emotional range of the music that it produces.

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.

Thinking outside of the box, Arman incorporates an unlikely pairing in this spectacular work: the violin and the paintbrush. The colorful paintbrushes tilt and turn, relaying a sense of frenetic motion, as if they are in the process of painting the violin.

Exemplifying his ability to work in a variety of mediums, this original wool tapestry addresses a significant concept within Arman's work: the accumulation of vast quantities of the same object. In this striking work, he arranges colorful tubes of paint, playing with the idea of one medium upon an entirely different medium.

Composed of disjointed saxophones divided and stacked in the fashion of a pyramid, this tower of music relays the impression of ordered chaos. This stunning work retains a sense of animation, as if we can almost imagine the soulful music produced by the subject of this glistening bronze sculpture.
