Felix and Loretta Leu first met at a Tinguely exhibition in New York in 1967 and after that momentous initial encounter spent many years travelling all over the world with their four children Ama, Aia, Filip and Ajja. The Leu Family is world famous in the tattoo scene and Felix Leu, Tinguely’s stepson from his first marriage, is an icon in the world of body art. With works by all twenty family members, this new exhibition paints a graphic picture of the Leus’ remarkable cosmos.

The Leu family is well-known among tattoo fans worldwide. In the late 1960s and 1970s, Felix and Loretta Leu used their tattooing skills to fund extensive travels with their four children Ama, Aia, Filip and Ajja. These years on the road were nourished by artistic curiosity, forming the basis for a distinct family cosmos. Featuring works by all members of the family, the exhibition offers a picture of this special universe.
