Jean Tinguely
Jean Tinguely (1925–1991) was a Swiss artist known for his kinetic sculptures and poetic machines. Born in Fribourg, he left a significant mark on the art world with his playful and critical approach, creating from recycled materials moving works that combine sound, mechanics, and aesthetics. His iconic creations, along with his collaborations with other artists like Niki de Saint Phalle, established him as a key figure in contemporary art. The year 2025 marks the 100th anniversary of his birth, and his artistic legacy will be celebrated throughout the year.
