Accompanying the Tate Liverpool exhibition, this book examines the intriguing relationship between renowned British artist Michael Landy and Jean Tinguely, one of the most subversive sculptors of the 20[superscript th] Century. Having seen Tate's 1982 Tinguely retrospective while still a student, Landy has drawn inspiration from the artist for some of his most well known works, including Break Down 2001 during which he destroyed each and every one of his possessions in a public performance. For many years Landy has been preoccupied by Tinguely's seminal, auto-destructive sculpture Homage to New York. The book is richly illustrated with works by Tinguely, rarely seen photographs of Homage to New York taken as it unfolded on 17 March 1960, and some of the many H2NY drawings Landy has made in response." "Laurence Sillars, Curator at Tate Liverpool, introduces Tinguely's early works, Homage to New York and the impact they have have had upon Landy. A blow-by blow, eye-witness account.
