Portfolio of four original lithographs 'Les Unités Plénières' and collage by Arman (1928-2005). The collage on the cover can be removed to be presented separately. Edition by Tête à Tête Arts. 'French-born American artist Arman told an interviewer in 1968. 'I have never been — how do you say it? A dilettante.' Regarded as one of the most prolific and inventive creators of the late 20th century, Arman’s vast artistic output ranges from drawings and prints to monumental public sculpture to his famous 'accumulations' of found objects. His work—strongly influenced by Dada, and in turn a strong influence on Pop Art—is in the collections of such institutions as the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Tate Gallery in London and the Centre Pompidou in Paris.' {source: askart} (Key Word Search: Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, Joan Miró, Amedeo Modigliani, Jackson Pollock, Robert Motherwell, Jean Dubuffet )
