Alexander Calder

Our Unfinished Revolution: Octopus/Squid

1975

This 1975 offset lithograph demonstrates Calder's mastery of translating his signature biomorphic forms into printmaking, with bold organic shapes reminiscent of marine life that echo the flowing, abstract elements found in his celebrated mobiles and stabiles. The work exemplifies his late-period exploration of color lithography as a medium for capturing the dynamic movement central to his sculptural practice.
