Daniel Arsham

Daniel Arsham is a contemporary artist whose work spans sculpture, architecture, and performance. Born in Cleveland, Ohio in 1980, he studied at The Cooper Union in New York, graduating in 2003. Arsham is best known for his “fictional archaeology” sculptures, eroded casts of everyday objects and cultural icons rendered in materials like volcanic ash, crystal, and sand. His work explores themes of time, decay, and memory, often blurring the line between past and future. Arsham has collaborated widely across art, fashion, and design, establishing a multidisciplinary practice that bridges fine art and popular culture.
