roger nellens, ‘the dragon of knokke’, was a self-taught belgian artist interested in the crossroads and contrast between machines and nature.
he invited many important artists to create large-scale works in his garden in knokke\. Nike de saint-phalle made a huge dragon sculpture/environment as a playground for nellens’ son xavier. Jean tinguely helped with the construction and created small sculptures and furniture for the interior spaces, and in 1987 a visiting keith haring was so inspired that he stayed several weeks and, with saint-phalle’s permission, painted prolifically on the dragon’s indoor surfaces.

If a work is not described above as framed, then please assume that it is offered unframed (although suitable framing can always be arranged). This piece has an attribution mark,
