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 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.
