Fragment from Homage to New York. 1960. This is a piece of Tinguely's "self-constructing and self-destroying work of art," an enormous kinetic sculpture composed of bicycle wheels, motors, a player piano, a go-cart, a bathtub, and other found objects. The machine was set in motion on March 18, 1960, before an audience in MoMA's Jean Tinguely was born in Fribourg, Switzerland, in 1925, the only child of a factory worker and his wife. In 1928 the family moved to Basel where Tinguely lived until 1951, when he moved to Paris. As a child he was a poor student but an avid reader and spent much of his free time perched in a tree thinking and reading.
