Multiple with watch-parts in plexi-box and book. The multiple and the book (full of lithographs) are both numbered and signed // Passe Temps by Arman Fernandez, created in 1971, is an intriguing mixed media piece housed in a plexiglass box, combining watch parts with a printed background. This limited edition artwork, part of a series of 150, juxtaposes fragmented timepieces against the backdrop of faded text that spells out ARMAN and PASSE TEMPS. The disassembled watch elements—gears, springs, and dials—symbolize both the passage of time and its deconstruction, a recurring theme in Arman's work as he often used everyday objects to explore concepts of temporality and obsolescence. The transparency of the box invites viewers to examine the delicate intricacies of each part, prompting reflection on the fleeting nature of time and the beauty found in dismantled, once-functional objects.

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.
