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 Nouveau Realism?
Artwork by Daniel Spoerri

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.
