The Beaubourg poster for Jean Tinguely came out in 1989 for his exhibition at the Centre Georges Pompidou (also known as Beaubourg) in Paris. This major retrospective celebrated his dynamic, kinetic sculptures and his innovative approach to mechanical art.

The poster itself showcases Tinguely’s energetic and playful style. It features his signature chaotic, machine-like forms, often built from scrap materials, gears, and other mechanical elements. Additionally, the design captures the movement and spontaneity that define his sculptures. These works became famous for their unpredictable and self-destructive performances.

This exhibition at the Pompidou marked a key moment in Tinguely’s career. It highlighted his contributions to kinetic and avant-garde art while reinforcing his influence on modern sculpture. As a result, the poster remains highly sought after by collectors, especially those passionate about modern and contemporary art.
