Architecture, dance set design, contemporary art, sculpture, interior design… Daniel Arsham is recognised as a jack-of-all-trades who likes to explore all spheres of creation. Here’s a look back at his flourishing career, including collaborations with the big names in luxury.
Born in 1980 in the United States, Daniel Arsham suffered the full force of the disasters caused by Hurricane Andrew in 1992. His family’s home in Miami was destroyed, a traumatic event that will remain engraved in his work forever. After studying design, he opened The House exhibition in Miami with several of his peers, before meeting Frenchman Emmanuel Perrotin in 2004.
A year later, the founder of the famous Perrotin art galleries included him in his exhibition space in Paris, and then in his various galleries around the world. This collaboration, which spans two decades, has earned Daniel Arsham the right to be celebrated at a presentation at the Galerie Perrotin in Paris’s third arrondissement at the end of 2023. The artist is also represented by Moran Bondaroff in Los Angeles, Pippy Houldsworth in London and Baro Galeria in Sao Paulo, and exhibits in the world’s leading museums.
His eroded or folded white walls, “Blue Calcite Eroded Venus of Milo” in 2019, “Future Relic 06 – Polaroid camera” in 2016, “Rose Quartz Eroded Guitar” in 2014, Grotto of Laocoön in 2022 are all well-known works by the artist.
As well as sculpture, design, video, painting, drawing and architecture, he has also worked on dance sets, for example with Merce Cunningham and Jonah Bokaer. He has also founded a film production company called Films of the Future.
