The era of Tinguely
An incisive look at the subversive legacy of a master of kinetic art
It was on 22 May 1925 that Jean Tinguely, the Swiss avant-garde artist, was born in Fribourg. Having pursued very unconventional art since his childhood, Tinguely — who was influenced by the Dadaists — became famous with his second wife, Niki de Saint-Phalle, for his incredible sound machines, his provocative (and borderline ridiculous) mechanical works and his monumental sculptures. One of these sculptures has been restored by the Musée d’Art et d’Histoire for an exhibition that will be held at the museum from 22 May to 7 September: the emblematic Si c’est noir, je m’appelle Jean (1960). The exhibit will also feature over 30 other mechanical sculptures and a selection of works on paper, some of which are being shown for the first time.
