Original lithograph signed Arman (Armand Fernandez) 1998, Accumulation of Punu masks (Gabon) from the portfolio Les Unités plénières, major work of Nouveau Réalisme on paper, dimensions 76 x 55.5 cm, very good condition, sold unframed.
This print perfectly captures Arman’s signature technique of accumulation: a dense constellation of Punu masks in shades of orange, green, brown, and white, inspired by the traditional African tribal art of the Punu ethnic group in Gabon. A Franco-American pioneer of Nouveau Réalisme and a major collector of tribal art, Arman transforms these sacred objects—linked to rituals, ancestral knowledge, and stilt dancing—into a powerful graphic motif. The accumulation explores the “tragedy of numbers,” the erasure of individuality, while simultaneously celebrating the formal and spiritual power of African art. A rare piece, signed in pencil by the artist, ideal for collectors of modern and tribal art.
