Arman (born Armand Pierre Fernandez; 1928\u20132005) was a French-American artist working in painting, sculpture, and assemblage. He challenged consumer society and blurred the boundary between art and everyday objects. His monumental works and international breakthrough made him a central figure in contemporary art during the second half of the 20th century.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

    • He also experimented with the destruction and reconstruction of objects in series such as Col\u00e8res (Rages) and Coupes \/ Combustions, where objects were cut or burned and then reassembled as sculptural works.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
