Produced in collaboration with the Calder Foundation, this tribute to Alexander Calder focuses on the artist's long-standing relationship with France, beginning in 1926. After the war, Calder spent significant periods of time in Paris in 1946, in Aix-en-Provence in 1953, and finally in Saché in the Loire Valley, where in 1963 he designed his final monumental studio. In 1989, the studio became the Atelier Calder residency programme. The book contains copious images of Calder's work; interviews with Tadashi Kawamata, Abraham Cruzvillegas and Rachel Harrison; and a selection of images of past residents' work, including a special portfolio of models for new sculptures by 2014 resident Monika Sosnowska. It reproduces pivotal essays on Calder published by Cahiers d'Art during the artist's lifetime, as well as texts by Alexander S. C. Rower, Calder's grandson and President of the Calder Foundation. Contemporary essays by distinguished art historians are illustrated by photographs of Calder and his work by Ugo Mulas and Agnès Varda.
