Assemblage of doll legs in almost paste, sugar and fabric in plexiglass, with accompanying lithograph (measuring 45x62 cm) // Candy by Arman Fernandez, created in 1970, is an assemblage sculpture encapsulating a collection of doll legs encased in a plexiglass box. The composition is both playful and unsettling, featuring the doll legs adorned with miniature fabric skirts and painted toenails, arranged chaotically within the transparent enclosure. The use of materials such as sugar, fabric, and almost paste adds texture and evokes a sense of fragility and nostalgia. Fernandez’s work often explores themes of accumulation and object repetition, and this piece is no exception, transforming mundane objects into a provocative commentary on consumer culture and femininity. Measuring 33 x 26.5 x 8 cm, the piece comes with an accompanying lithograph that complements the assemblage. The visual impact of the sculpture is enhanced by its transparent casing, which allows the viewer to inspect the layered elements from all angles, emphasizing the chaotic yet structured nature of the composition.

What is pop-art?
Pop Art is an art movement that began in Britain in 1955 and in the late 1950s in the U.S. It challenged traditional fine arts by incorporating imagery from popular culture, such as news, advertising, and comic books. Pop Art often isolates and recontextualizes materials, combining them with unrelated elements. The movement is more about the attitudes and ideas that inspired it than the specific art itself. Pop Art is seen as a reaction against the dominant ideas of Abstract Expressionism, bringing everyday consumer culture into the realm of fine art.
