Description

"Steampunk" Automaton Sewing Machine, 1970s France, artist unknown. Kinetic sculpture created from found materials (cast-iron "Singer" treadle, steel pavement grille, bicycle chains, pulley, belt and a DERI transformer) depicting a woman at a sewing machine, assisted by surprising unseen forces that carry out most of the work, 27 ½ x 21 x 41 in. (56 x 38 x 104 cm). The electric motor (110 volts) causes the wild-haired woman to operate the machine with the aid of an imp on the treadle and a pair of bolt-headed robots working the crank, while a third robot swings wildly from the end of the pulley. - A surreal and exciting work of kinetic art. "Bewegte Nähmaschinen-Skulptur" aus der"Steampunk"-Ära, 1970er Jahre Frankreich, unbekannter Künstler. Kinetische Skulptur (56 x 38 x 104 cm), aus industriell erzeugten gußeisernen Elementen hergestellt (Nähmaschinengestell Singer, Fahrradketten, Transmissionsantrieb), wild aussehende weibliche Gestalt, der assistiert wird von kleinen "fleißigen Geistern", angetrieben durch einen Elektromotor (110 Volt) - erinnert an den berühmten Stummfilm "Moderne Zeiten" mit Charlie Chaplin, in dem nicht der Mensch die Maschine, sondern die Maschine den Menschen beherrscht. - Ein hervorragendes Beispiel der französischen "Art Brut" der Nachkriegszeit. Jetzt im Angebot zu einer Zeit, da Roboter-Automaten und "Steampunk" gefeiert werden. Start Price: EUR 900
