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 Bank Street Atelier, New York in an edition of MM, 1968. Excerpted from the original justification, Alexander Calder is a master at producing a sculptured representation of a visual idea. He gave new form to sculpture with his mobiles and stabiles. Born July 22, 1898, in Philadelphia, Calder studied at Stevens Institute of Technology and at the Art Students League in New York. His many works are in private and public collections throughout the world, among them: The Museum of Modern Art; The Metropolitan Museum of Art; Berkshire Museum of Art; Guggenheim Museum; Wadsworth Atheneum, St. Louis; Philadelphia Museum of Art; Smith College and Washington University. His works have been exhibited in galleries and in leading national museums. The Société de Vérification de la Nouvelle Gravure Internationale of New York and Paris certifies and warrants that this is an original lithograph, signed in the stone by Alexander Calder. The Société de Vérification de la Nouvelle Gravure has been created by The Collector's Guild, Ltd., to set and uphold the highest standards for original lithographs and etchings. 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.
