Daniel Arsham's "Venus of Arles" refers to his reinterpretation or artistic exploration of the Venus of Arles, an ancient Roman marble statue depicting the goddess Venus (or Aphrodite in Greek mythology). The original Venus of Arles, dating back to the 1st century BCE, is housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France.

Arsham is known for his contemporary reinterpretations of classical and historical artworks, often infusing them with his distinctive aesthetic and materials. Without specific imagery or context for Arsham's interpretation of the Venus of Arles, it's challenging to provide a detailed description. However, it's likely that his version would involve a modern twist on the classical sculpture, potentially incorporating elements of erosion, distortion, or unconventional materials to evoke a sense of temporal ambiguity or reinterpretation of the original artwork.

Arsham's reinterpretations of classical sculptures often prompt viewers to reconsider familiar objects and themes through a contemporary lens, inviting contemplation of the intersection between past and present, permanence and impermanence, and the enduring relevance of ancient art in today's society.
