Luginbühl was a close friend of Tinguely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe drawing relates directly to a new project by Tinguely in the United States. Between 1973 and 1974, Tinguely created the monumental \u003cb\u003ekinetic sculpture “Chaos I”\u003c\/b\u003e in a community center in Columbus, USA. As referenced in this work, the installation was constructed in the former\u003cb\u003e Columbus Pump House\u003c\/b\u003e. Designed as the central element of \u003cb\u003eThe Commons\u003c\/b\u003e, the sculpture reached a height of approximately 9 meters and weighed around 7 tons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe installation was powered by 12 motors controlling 13 different functions. Its movements ranged from subtle and quiet to loud and mechanical, featuring rattling components, rotating wheels, and moving elements. In line with Tinguely’s artistic practice, the sculpture was built using \u003cb\u003efound materials\u003c\/b\u003e, emphasizing his signature approach to \u003cb\u003emechanics, movement, and industrial assemblage\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe provenance of the work is directly linked to the \u003cb\u003eAnne-Marie und Victor Loeb-Stiftung\u003c\/b\u003e, a Swiss foundation managing the collection of Anne-Marie (Nani) and Victor Loeb. This collection is considered one of the most important \u003cb\u003eprivate collections of modern art in Bern\u003c\/b\u003e and is regularly exhibited in Swiss museums.
