Clown with Vanishing Head Automaton. Paris: Pierre Mayer, ca. 2006. Handmade wooden automaton with exposed works. A clown holds a fan in front of its head momentarily; when the fan pulls away, the head has vanished and reappears in a box beside the clown. Hardwood and metal construction. 5 ¾ x 3 ½ x 10”. Signed by Mayer. Working; head atop body in need of adjustment. Very good.
