About the Item

Lithograph on vélin paper. Inscription: Signed in the plate and unnumbered, as issued. Good condition. Notes: Published by The Collector's Guild Ltd., New York in association with The Société de Vérification de la Nouvelle Gravure Internationale of New York and Paris; printed by Maeght Éditeur, Paris. Excerpted from the original justification, Alexander Calder is one of those rare and wonderful artists whose youthful promise has been fulfilled again and throughout his life. His immense talent, again fresh whimsical imagination and joyful use of color brought him worldly acclaim very early in his career and these same qualities have matured and developed through the years, giving him, in his own lifetime, an enduring place in the history of art. "Autobiographie" is a vividly colored piece which represents Calder's roots—his father and grandfather were sculptors, and his "fruit"—both his children and his art. The Société de Vérification de la Nouvelle Gravure Internationale of New York and Paris certifies and warrants that this is an original lithograph by Alexander Calder from an edition limited to MV. The Société de Vérification de la Nouvelle Gravure Internationale has been created by The Collector's Guild, Ltd. to set and uphold the highest standards for original graphic art. ALEXANDER CALDER (1898-1976) Credited with the invention of the mobile, Alexander Calder revolutionized twentieth-century art with his innovative use of subtle air currents to animate sculpture. Calder was prolific and worked throughout his career in many art forms. An accomplished painter of gouaches and sculptor in a variety of media, Calder is best known for poetic arrangements of boldly colored, irregularly shaped geometric forms that convey a sense of harmony and balance. He also designed jewelry, tapestry, theater settings and architectural interiors. From the 1940s on, Calder's works, many of them large-scale outdoor sculptures, have been placed in virtually every major city of the Western world.
