194 Alexander Calder (1898-1976) - Original lithography, from Derriere Le Mirroire #221 - Paris

A lithography originates from the 1976 edition of Derriere Le Miroir #221 by Alexander Calder, limited edition of 150 copies. Derrière Le Miroir was a publication that ran from 1946 to 1982, featuring prints by the era’s most celebrated Modernists. Produced by Galerie Maeght in Paris, the publication was dedicated to making art widely accessible at a time when many exiled artists and creative thinkers had just returned to France at the end of World War II.

Alexander Calder (1898 - 1976) was an American sculptor known both for his innovative mobiles (kinetic sculptures powered by motors or air currents) that embrace chance in their aesthetic, his static "stabiles", and his monumental public sculptures. Calder preferred not to analyze his work, saying, "Theories may be all very well for the artist himself, but they shouldn't be broadcast to other people." Calder's work is in many permanent collections across the world.
