Comments:
Odalisque #2, workshop proof silkscreen by Jean Tinguely, produced in 1989. This impression is unsigned and unnumbered, issued as a proof. The printing was carried out by Caza Imprimerie in Paris, using Canson Arches watercolor paper and black ink of very high quality.

Jean Tinguely was a Swiss artist recognized for his kinetic sculptures and his extension of the Dada tradition into the late 20th century. His mechanical constructions satirized modern industrial culture and often incorporated movement, sound, and elements of chance. Tinguely’s work was exhibited internationally during his lifetime, with major installations at the Museum of Modern Art (New York), the Centre Pompidou (Paris), the Tate (London), and other institutions.

This silkscreen represents his graphic work from the late 1980s and illustrates the playful, energetic line characteristic of his art. See less
