The Surreal Calder
Living and working in Paris in the 1920s and 1930s, Alexander Calder was naturally influenced by the burgeoning surrealist movement, and some of its most prominent voices - including Joan Miró, André Breton, and Jean Arp - became his close friends and associates.
In recent decades, however, Calder's relationship with Surrealism has been all but forgotten.
Presenting rarely seen pieces from the Calder Foundation as well as a sampling of works by Calder's surrealist peers, this exhibition recasts the artist and his work in their original context.
The resulting showcase highlights the wit, inventiveness, and improvisation at the heart of Calder's art and rooted in the legacy of Surrealism.
The exhibition will take place until May 21, 2006.
