Daniel Arsham has just unveiled a new sculptural edition in the form of the SPLIT BUST art sculpture. It is limited to only 99 pieces and is made with a dual material construction which is based on the large-scale work by the artist that was seen during the Venice Biennale last year.
It is inspired by his Fractured Idol series and the sculpture is based on half anime and half Roman-faced composition. Each side is complete with a gaze and it is made from stainless steel and cast bronze. It also has the iconic Tiffany Green tonal patino which will enhance as time passes and age to a captivating sight on one side with the other in a mirror polishing.
