Calder Jewelry»rank: 2104938by: Alexander Calder
: :Alexander Calder's jewellery has the same linear yet three-dimensional quality as his famous mobiles, and the parts that comprise each piece are hammered, shaped, and composed in a fashion that echoes the artist's creation of his sculpture. Calder produced more than 1,500 pieces of jewelry, beginning in 1906 when he adorned his sister's dolls with copper wire gathered from the streets.

His jewellery was coveted by the Surrealist coterie, and today is still highly sought after by collectors and museums. 'Calder Jewelry' features around 300 bracelets, ... |

Surreal Calder»rank: 271547by: Mark Rosenthal, Alexander Calder, A. S. C. Rower
: :Alexander Calder (1898-1976) is a key presence in the history of modern art, and yet he is rarely seen or remembered in the context from which he initially emerged as an artist. When Calder became 'Calder' – well known for his signature mobiles and stabiles – it was due to a unique variety of presiding influences. His artistic parentage consisted of Marcel Duchamp, who provided the name of and concept for the mobile; Piet Mondrian, who introduced pure abstraction to him; and Joan Miró, who communicated the central theses of Surrealism. Although Calder went on to play a major role in Surrealist manifestations during the formative years of the movement, including being ... |
