La Vittoria

Jean Tinguely's La Vittoria (1970) at the Nouveaux Réalistes' 10th Anniversary in Milan.

I've become well acquainted with Tinguely's work - mostly his meta matics and of course, Homage to New York in MoMA. His humor, irony and notoriously ludicrous events give warmth to my days at my computer. Somehow I only came across this work today while reading Nouveau Realisme, 1960s France, and the Neo-avant-garde; Topographies of Chance and Return by Jill Carrick; a massive exploding and self destructing cock as a commemorative event for the Nouveaux Realistes' birthday
