Ramblings of a retiree in France
This 2004 sculpture of a broken piano “Le Piano d’Arman” sits outside the Chateau de Villeneuve – Fondation Emile Hugues in Vence, after the artist gifted it to his home town of Nice. I understand it will soon be heading to the Musee Chagall.
Arman (1928 – 2005) was a French-born American artist best known for his destruction and recomposition of objects.

The idea of destroying and recompositing objects as a form of art is pretty cool.

I see this and think “That’s one way of getting rid of your piano!” … speaking as someone who can’t give hers away π
