Daniel Arsham: Bronze Extraterrestrial Bicycle

Daniel Arsham has a particular interest in the passage of time and archaeology, which have influenced his Relics in the Landscape.

Bronze Extraterrestrial Bicycle is inspired by science fiction film E.T. (1982) which was a symbol of a generation. The sculpture is cast from a replica of the prop from the film, which is part of Daniel Arsham's private collection of artefacts from popular culture.
