Calder: at home, among friends

–

Never one to rely on mass produced objects, Calder's rigorous inventiveness is reflected in the unique household items and jewelry that he made throughout his life. Drawing on the Museum collection, this installation highlights the intimate side of the artist through these personal objects, created abundantly and gifted generously to friends and family.
