Lithograph on Arches paper - Hand-signed by the artist and numbered // Arman Fernandez's 'Aesculapius Hammer' is a 1977 lithograph that exemplifies his fascination with repetition and the deconstruction of everyday objects. The image features multiple overlapping prints of hammers arranged in a semi-circular, almost fan-like pattern. Rendered in bold strokes of black, blue, and green, the hammers seem to cascade across the composition, creating a sense of movement and rhythm. The title references Aesculapius, the Greek god of medicine, suggesting a deeper connection to healing tools, possibly indicating the medical hammer used in reflex tests. Arman's signature style of using repetition transforms the mundane object into an abstract, dynamic composition, reflecting his exploration of the intersection between art and functionality.

What is Nouveau Realism?
Nouveau Réalisme is an artistic movement founded in 1960 by art critic Pierre Restany and painter Yves Klein during a collective exhibition at a gallery in Milan. Restany wrote the original manifesto in April 1960, proclaiming the movement. In October of that year, nine artists, including Martial Raysse, Yves Klein, Daniel Spoerri, Jean Tinguely, Arman, Pierre Restany, and three Ultra-Lettrists—Jacques de la Villeglé, François Dufrêne, and Raymond Hains—signed the declaration. In 1961, the movement expanded to include Mimmo Rotella, Niki de Saint Phalle, Gérard Deschamps, and César. The movement emphasized a return to reality in art, often incorporating everyday objects and exploring the boundaries between art and life.
