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.

Poster created by Belgian artist Pierre Alechinsky in 1984 for the Jazz Festival. Alechinsky (b. 1927) is a painter and printmaker associated with the CoBrA movement, noted for his gestural brushwork and improvisational approach to line and color. His work often reflects a spontaneous, rhythmic energy that pairs naturally with the spirit of jazz.
The 1984 Jazz Festival poster demonstrates this connection, with Alechinsky’s distinctive calligraphic style echoing the vitality of live performance. Festivals of this period often invited contemporary artists to design posters, highlighting the close relationship between modern art and music.
This edition was printed at Studio Paris in 1984 using serigraphy. It measures 20 × 32 in. (50.5 × 81.2 cm) and is preserved in excellent condition.
