Jean Tinguely - Signed & Numbered Exhibition poster

1983 

Striking artwork by Jean Tinguely, signed and numbered in green lower left, created for his exhibition at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam 1983-1984.  Limited edition of only 50. The dynamic composition is infused with Tinguely’s signature kinetic energy, featuring expressive black ink drawings and chaotic, mechanical motifs that reflect his fascination with movement and industrial aesthetics. Size approx. 90 x 60 cm
Tinguely (1925 -1991), a central figure in the kinetic art movement and a key member of the Nouveau Réalisme group, was known for his mechanical sculptures and drawings that conveyed a sense of perpetual motion. This poster exemplifies his characteristic freehand style, filled with swirling lines, abstract forms, and skeletal mechanical structures, evoking the spontaneity and unpredictability of his sculptural machines.
The handwritten elements, including the bold calligraphy of his name and the exhibition details, add a personal touch to the composition, reinforcing Tinguely’s belief in the fusion of art and life.
