Lot Essay

''La vie est mouvement. Tout se transforme sans cesse, et essayer de l'arrêter, essayer d'arrêter la vie en plein vol et de la récupérer sous la forme d'une œuvre d'art, d'une sculpture ou d'une peinture, me semble une moquerie de l'intensité de la vie. Je ne veux que m'impliquer dans l'objet en mouvement qui se transforme sans cesse.'' - Jean Tinguely

"Life is movement. Everything transforms itself ceaselessly, and to try and stop it, to try and check life in mid-flight and recapture it in the form of a work of art, a sculpture or a painting, seems to me a mockery of the intensity of life. I want only to involve myself in the moving object that forever transforms itself." - Jean Tinguely


''Quand mes mains rencontrent des matériaux récupérés, la magie opére.'' - Jean Tinguely

"When I get my hands on junk, magic happens." - Jean Tinguely
