Kinetic Salut de Jean, 1967

Jean Tinguely   Master Artists

This unique work on paper from 1967 by Jean Tinguely is executed in pencil, ink, and collage, featuring a visible dedication “Victor". 

The work is signed “Tinguely" lower right and dated 1967 with stamps..

This piece was specifically created for Victor Loeb 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, playful figuration, and collage materials provides direct insight into his creative process and positions the work within an important collector's context. Works from this provenance are typically held in museum collections and rarely appear on the art market, enhancing their rarity and collector's value.

Characteristic of Tinguely's artistic language, the composition reflects a sense of movement, improvisation, and humor. The layered structure and free associations align with the spirit of the avant-garde and the Fluxus movement, in which Tinguely was actively involved during the 1960s.

The provenance is directly linked to the Anne-Marie und Victor Loeb-Stiftung, a Swiss foundation managing the 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 are rarely available on the market.
