"Jed Perl's paired volumes are the definitive resource for anyone looking for a comprehensive account of one of the 20th century's most consequential artists. Based on unprecedented archival research and numerous interviews, this work situates Calder within the evolution of Modernism on the old and new continents, bringing to life all the friendships and intellectual currents that shaped his personality and oeuvre."
"The only book that could possibly provide a more intimate sense of Calder as a man is his autobiography. Thoroughly illustrated with family photos, postcards, exhibition posters and artworks, the book vividly recounts Calder's story through the eyes of a seasoned artist looking back while remaining fully engaged in creation."
"Calder/Miró, produced for the exhibition at Fondation Beyeler in 2004, explores the creative dialogue between Calder and his avant-garde peer Joan Miró. Documenting a lifelong friendship, this lavishly illustrated catalogue highlights shared artistic strategies, concentrating on their holistic understanding of space in art."
Alexander Calder, an influential US artist, significantly advanced the art of hanging sculptures through his innovative mobiles. An exhibition at the Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris presents nearly 300 of his works, illustrating the evolution of these sculptures and Calder's broader artistic practice. Guest curators Dieter Buchhart and Anna Karina Hofbauer have curated a selection of books that provide insights into Calder's life and work, including comprehensive accounts and personal reflections that enhance understanding of his contributions to Modernism.
