Very Rare 'Tuimelaar' Kinetic Sculpture by Hans Koetsier Circa 1970 Netherlands
About the Item
Very rare Space Age Kinetic Sculpture 'Tuimelaar" by Hans Koetsier The Netherlands Circa 1970
Hans Koetsier was a versatile artist, besides a successful marketing designer he was also an artist making sculptures like this 'Tuimelaar'
He made large outdoor sculptures mostly comissioned by Dutch and Belgian government institutes from early 60's on into the 80's (see photo collage of his works)
The fibreglass sculpture is filled with heavy lead at the bottom so it stays in position when you wobble it in all directions and will be a joyful and bespoke piece in your interior
There are only 2 or 3 known surviving examples of this version, 1 is being preserved by the Dutch Goverment Archive and 1 was sold in a 90's auction to a private owner
There are 2 large outdoor scale examples as we know from our research and the answer we got from the Dutch Archives, they were quite surprised to see this example
This example has an excellent provenance of ownership that will be shared with the buyer of this piece
It was purchased around 1970 by the previous owners
This piece has been restored as it had a small surface damage and has been repainted in the original white colour by a professional paintshop
This sculpture was exhibited in the 1969 Nikolaos Xasteros UFO House that has been installed in Terra Remota, Spain this summer 2023 together with other important period pieces (see photo's)

- Werner Epstein kinetic light sculpture, Exhibited Salon Des Artistes, Paris, 1972By Werner EpsteinLocated in bergen op zoom, NLPLEASE refer to the uloaded video of this light sculpture in operation, it creates a stunning otherwordly swirling ethereal lighting effect like a monochrome aurora borealis. Here we have an example of the very rare and famous light sculpture created by the artist Werner Epstein and edited in a very small edition by 'Inter Neo', France in 1970. It is both beautiful in its elegant sculptural form and in its magical , ethereal lighting effect. This design was exhibited at the 1972 'Salon des Artistes et Decorateurs' held at the Grand Palais des champs Elysees in Paris, and is published in the original exhibition catalogue. Please see scan from exhibition catalogue. PLEASE SEE IMAGE 5 Unfotunately the static images can only capture just a very basic static idea of some of the light formations created as the sculptural spiral aluminum element slowly rotates as it captures the rising thermal energy emitted by the concealed incandescent light bulb in the base , there is no motor , just pure physics and poetry in motion. I have to repeat that the static photos really do not do this beautiful design any justice at all, the slowly evolving swirling ribbons of light reflecting off the surface of the slowly rotating aluminum spiral create a magical , organic and otherworldly lighting effect which is initially captured on the polished surface of the spiral element itself before being thrown outward as continuous swirling ribbons of light which are captured on the surfaces of the walls, floor and ceiling creating an extremely ethereal ,soothing and meditative lighting effect.. This is one of the most famous ,beautiful and rare of all the French avant garde lighting...Category

- Nerone and Patuzzi 'Elemento Luminose', 1970, Signed, Published, Original LabelBy Nerone and PatuzziLocated in bergen op zoom, NLBeautiful 'elemento luminose' , illuminated wall sculpture designed by the renowned italian sculptors Nerone Ceccarelli & Giovanni Patuzzi (Gruppo NP2) for the gallery 'Forme and Superfici'. Turin,Italy in 1970. The panel has the engraved signature of both Nerone and Patuzzi and still bears the original 'forme and superfici' paper label to the rear of the panel. This sculpture is published in an original 'Forme e Superfici catalog' and the January 1971 issue of the renowned italian design periodical 'Interni-La rivista dell Arredamento'. Please see Literature section below for full reference. The central disc features a beautiful abstract hand crafted sculptural relief motif on metal , probably zinc, which is illuminated by a hidden fluorescent tube light. The frame surrounding the central sculptural disc is finished in stove enameled steel over a wood structure and features copper detailing. One of Nerone and Patuzzi's best known works is the enormous , 150 square metre, bas relief in zinc that they created in 1972 for the 'hemicycle' of the then new 'Schulman' building (1973) in Luxembourg which housed the early meetings of the European Parliament . The hemicycle was beautifully decorated following a project by the architect Simonis, combining different materials (leather, wood, metal) in a geometrical harmony, the whole integrated by Nerone and Patuzzi's huge zinc bas-relief on the rear wall. PLEASE SEE IMAGE 9. The zinc models were engraved using an etching technique, representing geometrical and abstract figures, and mounted on a surface of 150 square metres. The bas-relief was considered at the time to be the biggest sculpture in metal of the world.
