Arman, bronze with gold patina, sculptured dissected Violin in perspex box Signed edition 134/ 150 ( Edition number partly obscured by mount) foundry mark A .Valsuani perdue, Armand Pierre Fernandez, (born in France1928 died 2005), is one of the most important international object artists and a co-founder and member of the Nouveau Réalisme. He studied at the Ecole Nationale des Arts Décoratifs in Nice from 1946 to 1949 and then continued his studies for two years at the Ecole du Louvre in Paris. An acquaintance with Yves Klein led to the idea of organising joint happenings and events, which the two artists realised in 1953. Armand's neo-dadaist 'Cachets' (stamp prints) of 1955, and later the 'Allures' (prints made with objects dipped into paint) and the 'Coupés' (cut-up objects) followed by the 'Colères' (objects which were smashed and then mounted) were still influenced by Kurt Schwitters. When the last letter of his name was accidentally forgotten on a catalogue cover in 1958, he decided to adopt this spelling of his name. In 1957, Arman became interested in common objects as works of art. First he did what came to be called his "allures d"objet" (object impressions) where he w uld dip an object into paint and press it on canvas; thereby leaving the object's shadow or impression. Then he figured the object itself was worth paying attention to and he started to "treat" them in his own way. Arman's way of treating objects is very special: his intention is to remove the material function of an object so that as a work of art its only possible function is to "feed the mind" and not serve a material purpose anymore. What better way could he find to achieve that result than by breaking, slicing or even burning objects such as a violin, telephone, typewriter or even a whole car. He also makes objects useless by accumulating them (2,000 wrist watches in a plexiglass box are fun to watch but not very functional unless you like to "pick your time") The artist discovered his famous 'Poubelles', Plexiglas cases with rubbish cast in resin, at the beginning of the 1960s. From the 'Poubelles' Arman developed the so-called 'Accumulations', a number of the same objects assembled in show cases. These arrangements consist mainly of objects of every-day life, with which the artist ironically questions the one-sided waste character of mass products. He taught at the University of California until 1968. From 1975 onwards Arman spent seven years working on a monumental sculpture made of 60 cars which he called 'Long Term Parking'. From the mid-1960s Arman made numerous visits to New York, and he soon came to regard the USA as his second home, taking American citizenship in 1972. The stocks of new objects that he discovered there directed him towards new and more abstract accumulations. These culminated in 1967–8 in the Renault Accumulations (e.g. Renault Accumulation No. 106, 1967; see 1986 exh. cat., p. 221), highly sculptural works made from separate pieces suppl ed by the Renault car factory, and in large-scale commissioned monuments such as Long Term Parking (h. 18 m, 1982–3; Jouy-en-Josas, Fond. Cartier Mus.), a gigantic tower consisting of 60 cars embedded in concrete. In his later work he also recast some of his earlier Rages and Combustions in bronze, and in another series, Armed Objects, he used concrete as a base in which to fix the object, somewhat in the way he had previously used transparent plastic. He broadened his imagery to include tools while remaining faithful above all to objects symbolizing the excesses of the consumer society. Arman was also an avid collector of objects, artefacts and works of art, including watches, radios, cars, European pistols, African carved sculpture (especially Kota guardian figures) and Japanese armour Awards: Officier de la Légion d'Honneur, Grand Prix Marzotto, Commandeur des Arts et Lettres, Officier de l'Ordre National du Merite, Member of the Academia Brera.

" You stole the show with your great beauty and glorious voice. Your attraction is very disturbing to any man who sees you, you know I often dream about you - you know your beauty is not just physical the beauty of your character shines in your face - artists know these things Mary"; the second letter finishes "Do you know you are one of the loveliest girls in the World." Also included in the sale are a copy of a photograph of her wearing the dress in the painting and a Columbia Records postcard. Sir Claude Francis Barry was born 125 years ago into a rich family whose wealth was based on heavy industry. But he had a troubled childhood after the death of his m ther when he was two and his father's subsequent re-marriage in 1893. In 1905 he went to live in St Ives. Barry was a pacifist and was any way exempted from military service; he did not fight in the First World War. From about 1905, he exhibited his pointilistic works at the Royal Academy and elsewhere. Between the Wars he became renowned for his etchings and spent much of his time on the Continent returning to St Ives in 1939. Most of his etching plates were stored in Milan and were destroyed by a bomb in 1944. After the War he left Cornwall to live on Jersey. It is during this period that he painted many of his portraits including this one. Provenance; This portrait is sent in for sale by the sitter. Mary Marshall knew the artist well and he had great admiration for her as a singer. She was born in Bolton and was a solo artiste with Columbia in the 1950's. For a short time she was a member of a group "The Three Shades". She moved from her recording company and accepted a contract to perform in the Channel slands for impresario Sydney James, where she caused an unprecedented sensation; they were married in 1960 and settled in Guernsey. Mary continued in Sydney's Olde Tyme Music Hall shows and cabarets for many years having had two daughters. She retired in 1979 and remains in Guernsey today having remarried after her husband's death in 1985.
