(Tinguely, Jean) (1925-1991) - K.G. Pontus Hultén: Jean Tinguely. ”Méta”.
Stockholm (pr. Malmö), 1972. 30,5 x 21,5 cms. 1-38, 43-364 pp. + plate (with perforated gutter edge) made with Tinguely's Méta-matique in Stockholm in 1972, and signed in pencil by the artist + 33 rpm gramophone record inside rear cover.
Richly illustrated with photos and reproductions, many full- or double-page. (Pages 39-42, containing a translation of a text by Hultén on kinetic art in the non-Swedish editions, were omitted in this original Swedish edition.)
Original pictorial binding in colour, designed as a briefcase with handle and a keyless lock, red silk marker. Very fine.
