From finals to holiday preparations, wouldn’t it be great to freeze time for a bit? Arman (1928-2005) has encased these bows in resin, preserving them forever. From musical instruments to groups of artist supplies cast in resin, these Inclusioni were just one aspect of his artistic practice which also included burning, grouping, and sawing items into pieces along with more traditional forms of artistic expression such as printmaking.
Happy Holidays from the Luther W. Brady Art Gallery!
