About the Item

This limited edition print, titled La Grenouille et la Scie, was published by Pace Columbus for an exhibition held at the gallery in 1971. The print is plate signed and not numbered, adding a unique element of authenticity and exclusivity to the piece. La Grenouille et la Scie translates to "The Frog and the Saw" in English. The title La Grenouille et la Scie suggests a whimsical or surreal theme, which is common in many contemporary artworks. The imagery of a frog (grenouille) and a saw (scie) can evoke various interpretations, often depending on the context provided by the artist's style and the exhibition's theme. In many artistic contexts, such unusual pairings can symbolize a contrast between nature (the frog) and human intervention or industrialization (the saw). Shipping and Handling: We ship Worldwide.

Vintage 1970s Alexander Calder poster (Calder prints)
By (after) Alexander Calder
Located in NEW YORK, NY
Alexander Calder 'La Grenouille et Cie': Vintage original 1971 poster for the exhibition Pace Columbus (Ohio) featuring a printed Calder signature. Medium: Offset lithograph. Dimensions: 25 x 32 inches. An original 1st printing in very good vintage condition. Plate signed on the lower right from an edition of unknown. This is an original 1970s poster and not a recent reproduction of any kind. Alexander Calder changed the course of modern art with his three-dimensional kinetic sculptures, which Marcel Duchamp named “mobiles.” Resonating with tenets of Futurism, Constructivism, and early non-objective painting, Calder’s mobiles consist of boldly colored abstract shapes, which are made from industrial materials and hang in lyrical balance. Calder was an international phenomenon during his lifetime. He won the grand prize for sculpture at the 1952 Venice Biennale, where he represented the United States. He earned the French Legion of Honor and the American Presidential Medal of Freedom, among other honors. Calder has been the subject of solo exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art, the Rijksmuseum, the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, and the Museo Reina Sofía. His work regularly sells for eight figures on the secondary market. Though Calder is best known for his mobiles, his diverse practice also encompassed standing sculpture, painting, set and costume design, large-scale public installation, and jewelry-making.
