About the artworkEva Aeppli was in her teens during the Second World
War, which had a profound influence on her as an
artist. This despite being relatively protected from the
atrocities of war by growing up in neutral Switzerland.
Aeppli’s father was a teacher and co-founder of the
anthroposophist Rudolf Steiner school where she
received her basic education. After studying design
in Basel, Aeppli sold the puppets she made herself,
a craft she incorporated in her artistic practice. Later,
and without affiliating herself to any artist group,
she practised amid the most innovative art circles in
Paris, fraternising with artists such as Daniel Spoerri,
Yves Klein, Niki de Saint Phalle – and Jean
Tinguely,
who later became her first husband.
