Alexander Calder was a seminal American sculptor and artist, widely celebrated as the inventor of the mobile. His innovative work transformed sculpture by introducing motion and kinetic energy, moving from wire "drawings in space" to monumental, stationary "stabiles." Calder's prolific graphic output, particularly his lithographs, mirrors the playful, primary-coloured vocabulary of his three-dimensional works, featuring bold abstractions, celestial motifs, and whimsical creatures.
