Alexander Calder – From The Stony River To The Sky

Presented in conjunction with the exhibition ‘From the Stony River to the Sky’ at Hauser & Wirth Somerset, this catalogue illustrates the presentation of over 80 pieces. One of the most influential and pioneering artists of the twentieth century, Alexander Calder transformed the very nature of sculpture by introducing the fourth dimension and the actuality of real-time experience into his work. Known primarily for his invention of the mobile, Calder created a prolific oeuvre that extended to wire sculpture, carved figures, stabiles, standing mobiles, oil paintings, works on paper, jewellery, furniture and domestic objects, and monumental public commissions across the globe.
