Alexander Calder in Focus
Sunday January 24, 2010 from 10:00am - 5:00pm
Museum of Contemporary Art - Chicago
220 E Chicago Ave
Chicago, Illinois 60611 Get Directions
This annual exhibition features works by Alexander Calder from 1928 to 1968, mostly from The Ruth and Leonard Horwich Family Loan, include examples of Calder's mobiles, stabiles, drawings, and paintings. Calder combined colorful shapes abstracted from nature-snowflakes, birds, and animals with an interest in mechanics to create whimsical, hanging mobiles that move with air currents. His explorations of both geometric and organic shapes have distinguished him as an innovator of art that responds to its physical environment. 'Alexander Calder in Focus' provides an opportunity to look at how the seminal artist's ideas developed throughout his fifty-year career.
