Arman Biography

1928-2005

French-born American sculptor and printmaker, widely considered as one of the leading exponents of NOUVEAU RÃ?ALISME.

Born in Nice, France, the artist initially studied at the Ã?COLE DES ARTS DÃ?CORATIFS and the Ã?COLE DU LOUVRE. Along with his renowned artist-friend, YVES KLEIN, Arman was greatly influenced by Japanese art and culture, particularly the philosophy of Zen Buddhism.

He is best known for his large ASSEMBLAGES, that used junk materials, such as Long Term Parking ( Cartier Museum, 1982), a gigantic sculpture, encompassing 60 automobiles embedded in cement.
