Alexander Calder Red, Yellow & Blue Coral With Shells Signed Lithograph XIX/XXV

Le Shoppe Modern
Price:
$4,000.00

Description

A modern lithograph on Arches paper titled "Red, Yellow & Blue Coral with Shells" by Alexander Calder. Hand signed on the lower right and annotated E.A. XIX/XXV. Published in 1974. The simplistic swirling shapes echoes Calder's iconic kinetic sculpture known as "the mobile" meaning motion and motive in French. From a private collection. Dimensions: 37.75"h x 49.5"w x 1"d (framed). Slight fading due to age but overall in good vintage condition. 

Alexander Calder (1898-1976) was an American sculptor known both for his innovative mobiles (kinetic sculptures powered by motors or air currents) that embrace chance in their aesthetic, his static "stabiles", and his monumental public sculptures. Calder preferred not to analyze his work, saying, "Theories may be all very well for the artist himself, but they shouldn't be broadcast to other people." Galerie Maeght in Paris became Calder's exclusive Parisian dealer in 1950 and represented the artist until his passing. In 2010, his metal mobile Untitled (Autumn Leaves), sold at Sotheby's New York for $3.7 million. Another mobile brought $6.35 million at Christie's later that year. Also at Christie's, a standing mobile called Lily of Force (1945), which was expected to sell for $8 to $12 million, was bought for $18.5 million in 2012. Calder's 7.5-foot-long hanging mobile Poisson volant (Flying Fish) (1957) fetched $25.9 million, setting an auction record for the sculptor at Christie's New York in 2014.
