London auction house Christie’s has opened its doors to an exhibition of kinetic art. The show, entitled “Turn Me On”, runs until April 7.<br /><br />Christie’s says that the exhibition, which features works produced between 1948 and 1979, aims to revive interest in kinetic art.<br /><br />Jacob Uecker, Christie’s post-war and contemporary art expert, explained: “There are very different types of kinetic art. It’s not a genre, it’s not a movement.”<br /><br />“In a sense, it’s different artists from Latin America and Europe who are trying to explore new possibilities – incorporating new materials, experimenting with ideas and we see things, but in very different ways,” Uecker added.<br /><br />The Christie’s kinetic art show is the first of its kind to be hosted in London for more than 40 years.
