Map Mondo

1969

Sweeping forms and gestural marks suggest the contours of a world map reimagined through the artist's characteristically whimsical lens. The work balances spontaneity and precision, evoking both the vastness of global geography and the joyful energy synonymous with Calder's artistic vision.
