| Antiquorum Watch Experts Favorite Timepieces from Arman Collection to be Offered in March 10th & 11th Auction | ||
| March 2, 2010 - Antiquorum Auctioneers is excited to offer a diverse and superb private collection of 119 timepieces that belonged to the internationally recognized artist Arman in its March 10th & 11th sale of "Important Collectors' Wristwatches, Pocket Watches & Clocks" in New York City. | ||
| "Since 'The Arman Collection' is a comprehensive collection that includes timepieces at every price level, it offers a rare opportunity for one and all to acquire a watch that was chosen by and belonged to a celebrated twentieth century artist," said, Evan S. Zimmermann, President & CEO, Antiquorum. | ||
| A French born American artist, Arman (1928 - 2005) is internationally recognized as a major contributor to late 20th century art. A main protagonist of the "Nouveau Rèalisme" School (parallel to the American Pop Art movement), Arman is particularly well-known for his "accumulations", the use of everyday objects as subject. This concept is expressed in a range of media and materials from monumental sculptures to paintings to small gold and silver pieces designed to be worn as jewelry. Arman's work is represented in major museums and in private and public collections around the globe such as the Centre Georges Pompidou Paris, France; the Museum of Modern Art, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Solomon R.Guggenheim Museum in New York; and The Tel Aviv Museum in Israel. | ||
