Description

One-of-a-kind Tinguely-enhanced letter to an art historian

Swiss painter and sculptor (1925-1991) best known for his sculptural machines or kinetic art in the Dada tradition. ANS in German, signed “Dein Jean,” on two taped-together off white cards with an overall size of 12.5 x 8.25, October 5, 1979. Short note to art historian Siegfried Salmann telling him of his arrival. Tinguely has transformed the note into an original work of art incorporating strokes of paint, several stickers, small doodles and sketches, and a taped-on streamer. In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. A desirable, albeit bizarre, graphic from one of the founders of art’s New Realism movement. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
