Arman - Accumulation of pliers - original signed lithograph

The Industrial Motif: A Rhythmic Accumulation

This original lithograph by Arman showcases his signature theme: accumulation. By multiplying the motif of the pliers, the artist transforms an everyday utilitarian object into a dynamic and rhythmic composition. The lines intersect to create an upward, almost organic movement. This work is a defining example of the New Realist movement (Nouveau Réalisme), of which Arman was a leading figure alongside César and Yves Klein.

Studio Cinquante’s Perspective

Arman possessed the unique talent of forcing us to rediscover the everyday object. In this lithograph, the pliers lose their primary function to become a pure graphic line. It is a powerful, radical piece that brings a significant chapter of 20th-century art history into an interior. Its balanced format and industrial aesthetic make it a perfect match for a contemporary or Brutalist-inspired space.
