Alexander Calder (1898-1976) was a radical inventor: an artist who
discarded convention and disrupted hierarchies, overturning the
traditional basis of culture while revolutionising the way people
perceive and interact with art. Calder's 'new line' was not simply
an evolution of forms and styles. From the start, it was quite
clear to all who witnessed him at work that - in his way of drawing
attention and gaining notoriety - he was doing something radically
new. This catalogue shows how Calder's work emerged from
expectations of change in American popular culture. Calder, who was
initially attracted by the structure and functions of the circus,
looked for alternative models to triumph over respectability,
public decorum, and the ambitions of industry. The catalogue, with
twelve essays from major contributors, will examine how Calder,
among the first college-trained artists, found techniques and
inspiration in many disciplines and their development: technology,
engineering, architecture, physics, and astronomy, among others.
All these contributed to the development of his wire sculptures,
mobiles, and stabiles. More than 100 works and comparative
illustrations will guide the reader through this innovative and
unique path.
