Alexander Calder Color Lithograph for Derrière le Miroir

Item Details

An abstract color lithograph on paper designed by American artist Alexander Calder (1898 – 1976). This print depicts an abstract organic form rendered with a black outline and vibrant interior hues. The work is pulled from the 1963 issue of Derrière le Miroir no. 141 and includes French text to the verso. This work is labeled to the lower margin ‘65-10-A’ and appears to be without an artist signature. It is presented unframed, but in a mat.

Alexander Calder was an innovator in Modern art by creating a method of sculpting and wire bending to create “drawings in space.” Calder was an artist who resonated with the Futurists and Constructivists, as well as building blocks of early non objective painting. Calder’s work is represented in the collections of numerous distinguished institutions, including the Art Institute of Chicago; Detroit Institute of Arts, Michigan; Guggenheim Museum, New York; Museum of Modern Art, New York; the National Gallery, Washington, D. C.; Kunstmuseum Basel, Switzerland; Museum of Contemporary Art, Barcelona; and Tate Gallery, London.
