Place of origin |
Tinguely's sculptures are anarchic self-destructive constructions of miscellaneous unrelated materials - often seen as metaphors for contemporary culture. His drawings share this sense of uncontrolled kinetic energy. Here a chaotic accumulation of motor parts, overlaid with collaged papers and feathers, explodes like a multicoloured firework.
