Kinetic energy: events across Europe and the US celebrate Jean Tinguely anniversary

A series of exhibitions and events across Europe and the US in 2025 mark the centenary of Swiss artist Jean Tinguely, known for his Dadaist kinetic sculptures that often self-destruct. Key shows include a focus on his relationship with Eva Aeppli at the Lehmbruck Museum in Duisburg, and two major exhibitions on his partnership with Niki de Saint Phalle at Hauser & Wirth Somerset and the Grand Palais in Paris. The Museum Tinguely in Basel has commissioned artists Rebecca Moss and Augustin Rebetez to create a new installation inspired by Tinguely's work.
