So could it be gone again? We walked past the Casino after which some private area started and turned back via Chinese garden and other side of park...Timohttp://www.flickr.com/photos/timokoonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740147662943742025.post-40229697491602657042012-05-22T09:38:14.132+02:002012-05-22T09:38:14.132+02:00Thanks for your comment Hels.

Turns out is was missing, had been missing for nearly 18 months. And that very week it is reassembled and the article appears in the newspaper. There must have been something in the air that sent me to the promenade to view the work.P. M.

There are two possible explanations. Firstly God or fate saw you sitting there in the train and swept THAT article in your hands. It was pre-planned and inevitable. Secondly the article was there anyhow but you wouldn't have even noticed it, had your mind not been on Tinguely's massive sculpture. <br /><br />Not by chance for me, as well. I have written about Varian Fry and Hiram Bingham IV for years. But it was not until a young barista at my local espresso bar mentioned her latest student project (about the Vel d'Hiv roundup) that I went home and checked out the dates!Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740147662943742025.post-38969277353077913012012-05-20T21:17:14.223+02:002012-05-20T21:17:14.223+02:00Hi Jane and Lance,

We love the tension in his pieces of mechanical elements which 'work' but do not effect any purpose. They are, we feel simultaneously amusing and thought provoking. <br /><br />Like you, we should have been pleased to see the return of Tinguely's work to Zurich. Heureka is indeed a massive construction and does look highly impressive silhouetted against the sky. We should certainly make a point in seeking it out if we ever find ourselves in town!!Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.com
