Arman, La Chute des Courses, 1996

"Through the history of art we can see through the emotional life, and sometimes the financial security of some of the artists, some transformation. And I really believe that it's generally about the same kind of transformation and the same kind of reaction. We are a little bit less individual than we would like to believe or guess we are." Arman

Arman, Paintbrushes and Paint in Resin, 1990

"I found that it's less difficult to cut the wire here in New York, for instance, than in Paris. Because you depend so much for human relationships here on the phone. If you don't answer your phone, you are quite a lonely couple." Arman

Arman, Hydra, 1979

"I have always been very much involved in the pseudo biological cycle of production, consumption and destruction. And for a long time, I have been anguished by the fact that one of its most conspicuous material results is the flooding of our world with junk and rejected odd objects." Arman

Arman, Infinity of Typewriters, 1962

"The artist who paints the emotions creates an enclosed world.. the picture.. which, like a book, has the same interest no matter where it happens to be. Such an artist, we may imagine, spends a great deal of time doing nothing but looking, both around him and inside him." Arman
