One of the truly groundbreaking artists of the 20th century, Alexander Calder was a pioneer of kinetic sculpture and played an essential role in shaping the history of modernism. This exhibition will bring together approximately 100 works — including a selection of his most significant motorised mobiles — to reveal how Calder turned sculpture from a static object into a continually changing work to be experienced in real time.
The exhibition traces the evolution of Calder’s distinct vocabulary, from his initial years captivating the artistic bohemia of inter-war Paris, to his later life spent between the towns of Roxbury in Connecticut and Saché in France.
Until April 3rd, 2016 at the Tate Modern, London, UK
