Description
This unique and highly personal mixed media work on paper by Jean Tinguely and Niki de Saint Phalle, two leading figures of the postwar avant-garde, is executed in felt-tip pen, colored pencil, ballpoint pen, and collage with stickers, featuring visible dedications.
The work is signed lower right “Jean T." and “et bonjour de Niki", and dated lower left “le 28 Sept. 71", confirming its authenticity.
This piece was specifically created for Victor Loeb and his wife Anne-Marie (Nani) and belongs to the informal, non-market works of Tinguely, in which his free and experimental working method is fully evident.
The combination of mechanical sketches, handwritten notes, playful figuration, and collage provides direct insight into the creative process and positions the work within an important collector's context.
The work reflects Tinguely's fascination with movement, mechanics, and structure, combined with the playful and expressive visual language of Niki de Saint Phalle. The free associations and layered composition offer an authentic glimpse into their shared creative universe.
The provenance is directly linked to the Anne-Marie und Victor Loeb-Stiftung, a Swiss foundation managing the art collection of Anne-Marie (Nani) and Victor Loeb. This collection is considered one of the most important private collections of modern art in Bern and is regularly exhibited in Swiss museums. Works from this foundation typically remain within an institutional context and rarely appear on the art market, enhancing their rarity and collector's value.
Professionally framed, mounted on purple linen and float-mounted in a custom-made acid-free linen passe-partout, presented in a handcrafted wooden frame with Plexiglas® Optical HC (UV protection, scratch resistant, and minimal reflection), framed size approx. 80 × 70 cm. Framing can be customized upon request.
Authenticity and provenance guaranteed.
Delivered with a certificate of authenticity.

Presentation
Jean Tinguely, born in Fribourg on May 22, 1925, is a Swiss visual artist renowned for his innovative contribution to twentieth-century sculpture. An only child, he grew up in Basel in a French-speaking family, despite the city's German-speaking and Protestant environment. His interest in machines and mechanical engineering began in childhood, when he amused himself by creating waterwheeled machines in streams.
His artistic training began in 1941 with an apprenticeship as a decorator, which he completed in 1944 under the tutelage of Joos Hutter. Hutter encouraged him to attend the Basel School of Applied Arts, where Tinguely discovered modern art. These studies marked the beginning of his passion for articulated, moving works.
Tinguely made a name for himself with his sculpture-mobiles, colorful, noisy machines that engage and interact with the viewer. These works, full of humor and vitality, are also imbued with irony and poetry. They reveal a tragi-comic and enigmatic depth, creating a dynamic conversation between art and audience.
Classified as a neo-realist, Tinguely uses his machines to push back the boundaries of traditional sculpture, transforming mechanics into art. His creations, imbued with freedom and fantasy, continue to captivate and fascinate, attesting to his genius and unique vision in the world of contemporary art.
