Arman Original Signed Lithograph – Accumulation of Songye Kifwebe Masks, 1998.
Hand-signed by Arman (Armand Fernandez, 1928–2005), renowned French-American artist and key figure in New Realism. Size: 29.72 x 21.85 inches (76 x 56 cm). Very good condition. Sold unframed.

Why this piece stands out
Arman owned one of the world’s largest private collections of African art. This powerful lithograph showcases his iconic accumulation technique — a striking cluster of Songye Kifwebe masks from the Congo. These emblematic African tribal masks are instantly recognizable for their bold striations, color variations, half-closed globular eyes, and rectangular mouths.

Kifwebe masks (singular: kifwebe) belong to the Songye people of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Traditionally worn by dancers in initiation rites for boys and funerals, they were managed by a powerful secret society. Featuring polychrome decoration, these Central African artworks blend cultural depth with Arman’s modern vision.

Perfect for collectors of:
– African tribal art and African masks
– Songye Kifwebe or Congolese art
– Arman accumulations and New Realism prints
– Signed lithographs inspired by traditional African artifacts
