This lithograph is 52 years old and shows signs of handling, but framing it with a mat will eliminate most of the imperfections.
This work is emblematic of the period when the artist explored the theme of the accumulation and repetition of everyday objects, in this case, telephones.
The repetition of forms and the superimposition of lines evoke both overconsumption, the omnipresence of technology, and the anonymity of modern communication, while also playing on the visual beauty of the repeated motif. The overall effect is dynamic, almost musical, where each phone seems to converse with the others, forming a visual chorus characteristic of Arman's world.
