AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Color screen print on wood, limited edition, created for the centennial of Coop Switzerland in 1990.
The work constitutes the original lid of the special wine case “Drink Art 1990”, a project that brought together twelve leading artists from the Swiss and European art scene around Jean Tinguely.
The composition, extremely lively and immediately recognizable, combines drawings, writings, symbols, color blotches and graphic fragments of the various artists into a visually powerful whole. The project includes contributions by:
Jean Tinguely, Bernhard Luginbühl, Carlo Aloe, Daniel Spoerri, Alfred Hofkunst, Ben Vautier, Eva Aeppli, Urs Lüthi, Alfonso Hüppi, Peter von Wattenwyl, Garance and Milena Palakarkina.
The project was created to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Coop Switzerland. Each artist had also created a label for one of the twelve wines in the collection. The wooden lid is documented in collecting sources as a screen print by Jean Tinguely that brings together the motifs of the participating artists.
This lot concerns the original wooden version intended for the lid of the Drink Art 1990 case, size approximately 56 × 34 cm.
The surface preserves the characteristic appearance of wood and shows light marks and small imperfections compatible with age and with the original function of the lid, visible in the photographs. These elements do not compromise the artwork’s aesthetic impact.
It will be packed with particular care and shipped with rigid protection and tracking.
