180 Alexander Calder (1898–1976) – Derrière le Miroir No. 173 – Cover Lithograph – Sables (1968)

This original color lithograph by Alexander Calder served as the cover of Derrière le Miroir No. 173, published by Maeght Éditeur in Paris in 1968. The composition features an abstract typographic treatment of the word Sables, rendered in sharp geometric forms and vibrant colors — red, black, yellow, and orange. Calder’s dynamic approach transforms the title into a sculptural object, echoing the energy and motion of his mobiles within the confines of graphic design. This cover accompanied a series of original lithographs created specifically for the issue, celebrating Calder’s continued exploration of color, balance, and abstract form.
Alexander Calder (1898–1976) was a pioneering American sculptor and printmaker, internationally acclaimed for inventing the mobile and for his vividly colored abstract works. His collaborations with Maeght Éditeur were among the most successful of his printmaking career, resulting in iconic lithographic series for Derrière le Miroir that bridged art and publication.
