Alexander Calder — Grand Rapids
Alexander Calder

Grand Rapids

This 1965 lithograph by Alexander Calder demonstrates the artist's characteristic abstract aesthetic through vibrant color and dynamic compositional forms. The work is an hors commerce impression, meaning it was printed outside the standard edition of 75 as a special artist's proof, and remains in excellent condition with full margins on wove paper. As a monumental work measuring nearly 30 by 44 inches, the print exemplifies Calder's innovative approach to printmaking during the mid twentieth century.
