拍品专文
Jean Tinguely schuf die Skulptur Honda No. 1 im Frühjahr 1963 in Japan, als er gerade seine Ausstellung in der Minami Galerie in Tokyo vorbereitete. Die in diesen Monaten entstandenen Werke heissen Suzuki, Zing-Zing, Casoar oder eben Honda und sind mehrheitlich aus Objekten zusammengesetzt, die der Künstler auf Schrottplätzen in den japanischen Grossstädten wie Tokyo und Nagasaki vorfand. Honda No. 1 war ursprünglich im Besitz von Eva Aeppli, Schweizer Künstlerin und erste Ehefrau Tinguelys. In den achtziger Jahren war die Skulptur an zahlreichen wichtigen Ausstellungen, darunter in Venedig, Turin und Paris zu sehen.
