Estate of the artist
“Mauve Administratif” was inspired by a rubber stamp collage by Kurt Schwitters. It is an example of Arman’s cachets, incorporating areas of abstract painting and Minimalist style methods. Arman integrated expressive brushwork with readymade motifs that revealed no trace of the artist.
