Acquired directly from Walter Moos, Toronto
A Private Canadian Collection
Notes:
Swiss sculptor Jean Tinguely had a very active artistic career, mingling in various avant-garde art circles and creating attention-grabbing works. Born in Fribourg, Tinguely grew up in Basel, but moved to France in 1952 with his first wife, fellow Swiss artist Eva Aeppli. He was one of the artists who signed the New Realist's manifesto (Nouveau réalisme) in 1960. The same year, he and his wife separated, and he met Niki de Saint Phalle, whom he would eventually marry in 1971.
