'Deux Violons' by Arman is a bronze sculpture set with a golden patina, featuring two violins. The sculptures are incomplete on their own; they only become fully realized as a complete artwork when presented together, symbolizing the importance of unity and collaboration in the composition. Known for transforming everyday objects into art, Arman deconstructs the familiar form of the violin, elevating it from a musical instrument to a sculptural piece. This work reflects his ongoing exploration of destruction and reassembly, a recurring theme in his art.
