Santa Claus
Alexander Calder's *Santa Claus* is a delightful suite of prints that showcases the artist's signature playful line work and bold, joyful use of color. This rare "bon à tirer" proof, inscribed and signed in pencil, represents a distinguished example outside the standard edition, published by Editions de L'Herne in Paris. Presented loose as issued, the sheets are housed in their original brown paper folder and beige linen-covered clamshell portfolio, preserving the work in an elegant and intimate format.
