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.

Arman
Arman was born in Nice, France, in 1928, and showed a talent for painting and drawing as a child. He studied at the the Ecole Nationale des Art Décoratifs in Nice followed by studies at the École du Louvre in Paris. In his early years he focused on abstract paintings. Then, in 1957, he became interested in common objects as works of art. He first did what came to be called his "allures d"objet" (object impressions), where he would dip an object into paint and press it on canvas thus leaving the object's shadow or impression. Then he decided the object itself was worth paying attention to and started to treat them in his own way. His intention was to remove the material purpose of an object so that its only remaining function was to "feed the mind" as a work of art. What better way to achieve that result than by breaking, slicing or even burning objects such as violins, telephones, typewriters or even whole cars? He also made objects useless by accumulating them, such as 2,000 wristwatches in a Plexiglass box that all kept different time. Once emotionally detached from the circumstances associated with a broken object, the viewer could grow to appreciate its abstract beauty; so, in a sense, Arman was literally teaching that things one never thought could be regarded as attractive could indeed turn out to be so. Through this achievement, Arman gained worldwide recognition and is regarded as one of the most prolific and inventive creators of the late 20th century. His work can be found in the collections of numerous museums including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Tate Gallery in London and the Centre Pompidou in Paris. Arman’s work has also been exhibited in galleries, museums and public spaces worldwide including the Musée D’Art Contemporain in Tehran, Iran; the Museum of Art in Tel Aviv, Israel; the Musée Des Arts Decoratifs and Opéra De Paris in France; the La Jolla Museum of Contemporary Art in California; and the Museum of Arts and Design and the Guggenheim in New York He died in 2005 in New York.
