In 1961, Arman began making cut-up objects. This was the birth of the group of works in his oeuvre called "Coupe" (French for 'cut'). A year later, he created our "Violon découpé sur panneau noir", which was acquired by Gunter Sachs for his collection the same year. The year 1962 was also the founding year of the artist group "Nouveau Réalisme". The group included Yves Klein, Jean Tinguely, Raymond Hains and Arman. Arman's "Coupes" formed a key groupin his innovative oeuvre. Making destruction and segmentation of an object the subject of a picture, Arman introduces a new aesthetic to the history of art, and along with it a new view of reality. [EH]
