" Pour Arman, l'option quantitative a une vertue expressive générale, incarnée tout entière dans le geste d'entassement, d'accumulation. ... Pour lui, les objets accumulés sont destinés à s'insérer dans l'équilibre harmonique d'une surface." (in Henry Martin, Arman, Ed.Abrams, Pierre Restany,1967-1968, Arman, p.8)
