1968
A dynamic composition of mechanical forms and kinetic energy rendered through a layered combination of felt-tip pen, pencil, ballpoint pen, and India ink on paper. Tinguely's signature fascination with movement and machine-like structures is evident in the intricate tangle of lines, gears, and abstract mechanical elements that seem to churn and rotate across the page. The work reflects the artist's broader engagement with the absurdity and vitality of industrialized society, translated here into an intimate, hand-drawn format.
