The name 'Armalamor' is a coined word formed from the initial syllables of the names of four modern artists: Hans Arp, Henri Matisse, Henri Laurens, and Henry Moore.
Notes on verification
Confirmed by multiple independent sources, including a direct Baselitz interview account, DNB's own blog, and a public art database, all converging on the same syllable-construction explanation.
