Tekst achterflap

The volume documents the profound and transformative impact of Alexander Calder, one of the most revolutionary artists of the 20th century. Calder (1898-1976) in fact changed the way we perceive and interact with sculpture, introducing the fourth dimension of time in art with its legendary mobiles - a term coined by Marcel Duchamp which in French refers to both "motion" and "motive" - and exploring the volumes and voids in the stabiles, his stationary objects, so named by Jean Arp.
