Arman Original Serigraph - GUNS - Each Print Unique

Description: This print by Arman is in pristine condition... no creases, no handling marks or spots of any kind, It has never been framed or matted and only exposed to light on a limited basis, otherwise stored in a drawer. This serigraph is 17" H x 22 1/4" W and is hand signed and numbered (93/225) by the artist. It was printed at Chiron Press in 1965 and published in the New York City International portfolio in 1966. Other artists in the portfolio were Motherwell, Reinhardt, Rosenquist, Steinberg and five others While this silkscreen and stencil print is from an edition of 225, each print is unique because the hand stenciled gun is placed differently on each image. "The artist drew guns on the silkscreen from which the prints were made. Each has an additional hand-stenciled gun for uniqueness and variety.The many revolvers, in accumulation, become so many horse heads. They gambol like the hills of the palm. Claes Oldenburg's ray guns of 1959 are evoked, as are Arman'e own accumulations of spectacles ans high heeled shoes. Silver and gold guns - aluminum and brass - take the light differently from the black and single red.Black silhouette, simple outline, 'arbitrary' smudge and continuous hatching are ways in which the gun is drawn. The effect is lively, not death-dealing." (from the portfolio introduction by Henry Geldzahler) Arman (November 17, 1928 – October 22, 2005) was a French-born American artist. Fascinated with the scene in New York, Arman took up part-time residency there, from his home in Nice, in 1961, after his first exhibition at the Cordier Warren Gallery. In the city, he met Marcel Duchamp and started living at the Chelsea Hotel.
