Arman – “Full Up” tin – Iris Clert’s gallery – 1960
ARMAN – “FULL UP” tin, 1960
This “FULL-UP” tin created by French-American artist Arman served as an invitation card for his exhibition opening at the Galerie Iris Clert in Paris, France. Filled with various objects, most with trash, it had to be opened – or not – before the exhibition opening date, October 25, 1960.
This limited edition of 1,500 was published and mailed by the Galerie Iris Clert. Some were given directly by the artist to his friends. This is the case with this tin which comes directly from French architect Claude Parent’s collection. Claude Parent was a close friend of Yves Klein and knew Arman and Iris Clert well. He attended the opening.
Arman’s exhibition was called “Le Plein” (Fullness) as a humoristic response to his friend Yves Klein’s own exhibition, “Le Vide” (Void), also at the Galerie Iris Clert. This exhibition was his first major one in Paris and was very noticed. According to Iris Clert’s book, she was the one who advised him to change his first name (Armand) to his artist name (Arman).
Arman (November 17, 1928 – October 22, 2005) was a French-born American artist. Born Armand Fernandez in Nice, France, he was a painter who moved from using objects for the ink or paint traces they leave (cachets, allures d’objet) to using them as the artworks themselves.
Arman was one of the first artists to use directly, as pictorial material, manufactured objects, which represented for him the natural and multiple extensions of the human hand which undergo a continuous cycle of production, consumption, destruction. He is best known for his Accumulations and destruction/recomposition of objects. His work is included in collections of modern art museums all over the world and a similar tin is part of the New York MoMA’s collection.
Size: 10,50 x 6,40 x 2,90 cm – 4,1 x 2,51 x 1,14 in.
This can is not signed or numbered, probably because it was given directly to Claude Parent by Arman and not mailed by the gallery. It is sealed and was never opened (rare as most were opened by the addressees). Its authenticity was confirmed by Artcurial, Paris, France.
