Calder Jewelry
Dec 09, 2008 - Mar 01, 2009
American-born artist Alexander Calder (1898–1976) is celebrated for his mobiles, stabiles, paintings, and objets d’art. This landmark exhibition will be the first museum presentation dedicated solely to his extensive output of inventive jewelry. During his lifetime Calder produced approximately 1,800 pieces of brass, silver, and gold body ornaments, often embellished with found objects such as beach glass and wood. This exhibition will feature nearly 70 works—bracelets, necklaces, earrings, brooches, and tiaras—as well as several notebooks of Calder`s working drawings. While Calder`s more diminutive avant-garde creations converged closely with the aesthetics of the modern age, they always remained personal and unmistakably Calder. Accompanied by a catalogue. The exhibition is made possible by Wachovia. It was organized by the Norton Museum of Art, West Palm Beach, Florida and the Calder Foundation, New York.
