Calder maquettes at Pace Wildenstein

Calder's works continue to attract me - from his mobiles and miniature animals to his giant public pieces. Pace Wildenstein exhibited a series of maquettes and small versions of his large scale works.

His simple palette of colors - primary and bold or black and white - and the shapes that somehow invite me to climb over them and slip between them - were striking in the gallery. Even the slightly vaulted ceiling of the place with its rivets and wood beams fit the work.



Perhaps some day I will make a mobile that feels as some of these do to me, or discover something in the shapes and edges of my work that feels this way.
