A wide-ranging selection of works from Calder's most prolific period highlights the role of time in his groundbreaking sculptural practice
Francisco Goya claimed in 1801 that time also paints. More than 200 years later, this quote, now turned maxim, could refer to the way in which time modifies how we relate to art. A more conceptual interpretation could also be held where time itself is the medium. Taken in this last interpretation, few artists have understood this notion better than Alexander Calder.
Alexander Calder (1898-1976) moved to Paris in the late 1920s, where he found himself at the center of the city's artistic avant-garde. In 1930, he invented the mobile--an abstract sculpture made of independent parts that incorporate natural or mechanical movement. He would continue to explore the possibilities of this visual language for the rest of his career, eventually shifting to monumental constructions and public works.
