Price realised:
US$2,000
Beschreibung:

Alexander Calder McGovern 1973 Lithograph in colors, on wove paper, the full sheet, S. 30 x 42 5/8 in. (76.2 x 108.3 cm) signed and numbered 136/175 in pencil, with Styria Studio blindstamp, New York, occasional scuffing, a tear at lower right corner (with associated creasing), otherwise in very good condition, unframed.
Artist Bio Alexander Calder American • 1898 - 1976 Alexander Calder worked as an abstract sculptor and has been commonly referred to as the creator of the mobile. He employed industrious materials of wire and metal and transformed them into delicate geometric shapes that respond to the wind or float in air. Although born into a family of sculptors, the artist studied mechanical engineering before pursuing a career in art; these studies may explain the science behind the unique balancing act of his dynamic structures. In addition to his mobiles, Calder produced an array of public constructions worldwide as well as drawings and paintings that feature the same brand of abstraction. Calder lived in Lawnton, Pennsylvania. View More Works
