Alexander Calder from the Stony River to the Sky

Description

Between Somerset and Roxbury, the catalogue unfolds like a living landscape, revealing more than ninety works by Calder - quivering mobiles, steadfast stabiles, paintings, jewelry, and everyday objects transfigured into tangible poetry. Each page hums with the encounter of nature and monument, light and motion, offering an unprecedented gaze upon his domestic creations and monumental sculptures. The essays by Jessica Holmes and Susan Braeuer Dam weave the thread of his life and art, where every gesture, every curve, tells the soul of the man behind the metal and color. A journey in which matter ascends and imagination takes flight.
