Known
for inventing the mobile, Alexander Calder was also known
for being a great artist. He was born in Pennsylvania
in 1898 and lived until 1976. He came from a long line
of sculptors and became one himself. The 2009
Alexander Calder calendar features some of the abstract art
that he created. He was often referred to as Sandy
Calder, preferring the shorter name. Before his death,
he created a major show at the Whitney Museum in New York
City. Sandy Calder has also created a number of
structures for cities. The 2009 Calder calendar focuses on
the art itself. He designed one in Montreal for the
1967 Expo and a Flamingo in 1974 in Chicago. |
