Synopsis
One of the most beloved American artists of the last century, Alexander Calder reimagined sculpture as an experiment in space and motion. He upended centuries-old notions that sculpture should be static, grounded, and dense by making artworks that often move freely, interacting with their surroundings. Calder's ever-changing artworks invite a viewer's sustained attention; over the course of many decades, The Museum of Modern Art provided a setting for this productive exchange. Alexander Calder: Modern from the Start looks at Calder's work through the lens of his connection with MoMA, taking as a point of departure the idea that Calder assumed the unofficial role of the Museum's "house artist" during its formative years. His work was first exhibited at MoMA in 1930, months after the institution opened its doors, and he was among only a handful of artists selected by the Museum's founding director, Alfred H. Barr Jr., for inclusion in his two landmark 1936 exhibitions, Cubism and Abstract Art and Fantastic Art , Dada , Surrealism . He was called upon to produce several commissioned works-including Lobster Trap and Fish Tail , a multicolored mobile that hangs in the same stairwell for which it was made in 1939-and his sculptures have been a mainstay of the Museum's galleries and Sculpture Garden ever since. Following a loose chronology, the catalogue presents examples from the full scope of Calder's work, from the earliest wire sculptures of the 1920s through the largescale mono- and polychrome stabiles and standing mobiles of his later years. An essay by curator Cara Manes traces Calder's rich relationship with MoMA, fueled by new research from the archives of the Museum and the Calder Foundation., On Alexander Calder's fruitful, creative and enduring relationship with MoMA, from the early wire sculptures to late abstractions Alexander Calder's work first appeared in the Museum of Modern Art's galleries in 1930, in the exhibition Painting and Sculpture by Living Americans . Over the next decades the artist's connection with the Museum would be deep, productive and mutually beneficial. Calder cultivated friendships and working relationships with notable figures, including Alfred H. Barr Jr., the Museum's founding director, and James Johnson Sweeney, with whom he collaborated on his expansive retrospective exhibition in 1943. His work is imprinted on MoMA's early history, not only for its material and conceptual innovation but also for its presence at significant moments, such as a mobile made to hang over the lobby's grand staircase on the occasion of the new Goodwin and Stone building ( Lobster Trap and Fish Tail , which hangs there to this day); an elaborate candelabra to adorn the tables at a celebratory anniversary event; and a sculpture to fly off a flagpole to advertise the landmark exhibition Cubism and Abstract Art . Alexander Calder: Modern from the Start celebrates this extraordinarily fertile relationship between an institution and an artist who was both an important creative partner and, with his magnificent gift of 19 works in 1966, a major donor. Through MoMA, Calder came to be known as a pioneer of modern sculpture, and through Calder, MoMA came to understand itself as an American museum of modern art. After studying engineering, Alexander Calder (1898-1976) moved to Paris in the late 1920s, where he found himself at the center of the city's artistic avant-garde. There, he developed his Cirque Calder, a performance artwork comprising dozens of miniature handmade objects, and a group of standalone figurative works in wire. Turning toward abstraction in 1930, Calder invented the mobile--an abstract sculpture made of independent parts that incorporate natural or mechanical movement. He would continue to explore the possibilities of this visual language for the rest of his career, eventually shifting to monumental constructions and public works., On Alexander Calder s fruitful, creative and enduring relationship with MoMA, from the early wire sculptures to late abstractions Alexander Calder s work first appeared in the Museum of Modern Art s galleries in 1930, in the exhibition Painting and Sculpture by Living Americans .
