Small M&M Bag is a bronze casting of Robin Antar’s original hand-carved alabaster sculpture, preserving the familiar crumples, folds, and playful character of a classic M&M’s candy package. Part of her celebrated Realism in Stone series, the original work was meticulously carved from alabaster and hand-stained to recreate the appearance of the iconic candy bag. Cast in bronze, the sculpture transforms a disposable piece of packaging into a lasting object, elevating an everyday symbol of American consumer culture into fine art. Like many works in the series, Small M&M Bag reflects Antar’s fascination with preserving the ordinary objects that define a particular moment in time, inviting viewers to reconsider the cultural significance of the items they encounter every day.
