what to know jean tinguely

Swiss artist Jean Tinguely, born 100 years ago on May 22, 1925, is celebrated in a centenary retrospective at Pirelli HangarBicocca in Milan. Known for his kinetic sculptures—clattering, motorized assemblages of cogs, wheels, and found objects—Tinguely emerged from Dada influences in Basel and Paris to become a leading figure of kinetic art. His work satirizes technological reliance and explores themes of mortality, often incorporating animal skulls and planned explosions. Major retrospectives at the Stedelijk Museum (2016) and Pirelli HangarBicocca (2024) have revived interest in his oeuvre.

guggenheim rauschenberg 100th birthday

Two major New York museums are celebrating the centennial of Robert Rauschenberg's (1925–2008) birth this fall with exhibitions that spotlight lesser-known chapters of his career. At the Guggenheim New York, the monumental silkscreen painting "Barge" (1962–63) returns to New York in October for the first time in nearly 25 years as part of a show titled "Life Can't Be Stopped." The Museum of the City of New York (MCNY) will showcase Rauschenberg's undersung photography work focused on New York City. Neither exhibition features his famous "Combines," instead highlighting other aspects of his wide-ranging practice. The Guggenheim's show is part of its new "Focus" series, launched in November 2024, which aims to highlight the museum's collection.
