Arman

Accumulation of Football Shoes
Accumulation of Real Objects Hard and Soft
Just before christmas I visited the Pompidou Centre in Paris where Arman had an exhibiton. I was impressed by his 'Accumulation' works. He takes multiple everyday objects such as football shoes or paint brushes (shown above) and arranges them into a work of art. This challenges the viewer to see the objects in a different context to how they would in an everyday situation.
