Alexander Calder

United States · 1898–1976

Rhythm, balance and colour.

Alexander Calder changed modern sculpture through mobiles: forms that move and find their balance in space. His graphic work carries that play of line and colour onto paper. A print offers an approachable way to bring his visual energy into a collection.

His work is held by the Whitney Museum in New York and the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.
