BASEL.- The legendary “Le Mouvement”
exhibition was held in the Galerie Denise René in Paris from 6 to 30 April
1955. The common element in the works on show was movement as
means of expression, and the leaflet produced for the exhibition, Le manifeste
jaune, postulated “Colour – Light – Motion – Time” as the basic principles for
the further development of kinetic sculpture. The first section of the exhibition in
the Museum Tinguely is devoted to presenting as
comprehensive a reconstruction of this celebrated show as possible. Thanks to
the loan of outstanding works from locations as varied as Venezuela, New York,
Paris and Zurich, the goal could be achieved. On view through 16 May,
2010.
