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, 1969. 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. Here, Calder has created an original lithograph true to his concept that simple spheres and elementary shapes express the universality of form, using color, shape and balance. 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.

Bobine
By Alexander Calder
Located in Palm Desert, CA
"Bobine" is a gouache and ink on paper by Alexander Calder. The work is signed in the lower right "Calder 72". Although renowned for his innovative and groundbreaking sculptures, Alexander Calder started his artistic career as an abstract painter, preferring to use gouache. What is gouache? Gouache is a water-soluble paint – a type of opaque watercolor. As Calder returned to gouache painting towards the end of his life, he was now armed with a lifetime of experience as a sculptor. He explored the three-dimensional vocabulary of sculptural forms he had developed onto the two-dimensional surface of the paper. Certain shapes and colors recur throughout his gouaches and sculptures. Circles, ovals, and other geometric forms dominate the space. There is the same sense of energy and fluidity. The shapes do not sit on the surface but vibrate giving a feeling of movement in contrast to the static nature of painting. Like his sculpture, Calder’s gouache...
