APC ART is pleased to present our global collector base with this exceptional work — “The Phantom Driver” (XL) by Daniel Arsham.

Published by Perrotin Gallery on the occasion of Arsham’s “Wandering” exhibition at the Grand Palais Éphémère, Paris (2023), this edition represents one of the most cinematic and conceptually refined lithographs of Arsham’s recent career.

Medium: Lithograph on semi-gloss wove paper
Signed: Lower right in white ink “Daniel Arsham”
Edition: 100
Sheet size: 33.5″ × 25″ (85.1 × 63.5 cm)

“The Phantom Driver” captures a lone silhouette standing beside an illuminated car in a forest clearing — a scene that feels simultaneously mysterious, nostalgic, and futuristic. Hovering above are Arsham’s signature crystalline forms, rendered here in soft shades of blue and grey. The composition evokes themes central to Arsham’s practice: time, memory, and transformation.

Arsham — a multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans sculpture, architecture, film, and design — has become one of the most important figures in contemporary art. His collaborations with brands such as Dior, Porsche, Rimowa, and Tiffany & Co. have propelled his aesthetic into global culture, while his fine-art works continue to command attention in museums and private collections worldwide.

This lithograph reflects Arsham’s ongoing exploration of fictional archaeology — artifacts that appear unearthed from a parallel future. The car’s headlights illuminate not just the forest but also a sense of personal mythology, where memory and modern design intersect.

From an investment standpoint, “The Phantom Driver” is an outstanding opportunity. With only 100 editions worldwide, and issued through Perrotin — one of the world’s most respected contemporary galleries — the piece has already become a collector favorite. Arsham’s editions consistently sell out within minutes of release, and his secondary-market valuations have grown steadily year over year.

The work is in hand and will ship immediately from the USA, in its original packaging and condition, accompanied by an APC ART Certificate of Authenticity (with blind stamp) guaranteeing authenticity and provenance in perpetuity.

APC ART is pleased to offer archival framing options upon request, using museum-grade materials and UV-protective acrylic.
