Daniel Arsham has recently introduced a new piece in his “fictional archaeology” series titled “SPLIT BUST“. This sculptural edition, limited to 99 pieces, is inspired by a large-scale work that Arsham unveiled at the Venice Biennale last year.
Based on his “Fractured Idol” series, this artwork presents a unique blend of anime and Roman-inspired facial features, with each side showcasing thoughtful eyes. Constructed from stainless steel and cast bronze, the sculpture boasts a Tiffany Green patina that lends an aged appearance, while its mirror-polished sections contribute to a more mechanized style. The title “Split Bust” reflects Arsham’s ongoing investigation into how icons and symbols can cross boundaries of time and culture, merging the past and future effortlessly together.
Each piece in every release stands 30 cm tall and weighs approximately 8 kg. Retailing at $12,500 USD, each rendition of “SPLIT BUST” includes a pair of art handling gloves from Arsham Studio, as well as a metallic-foiled certificate personally signed and numbered by the artist. You can now purchase this sculpture directly through Arsham’s official website.
