In London, an exhibition of Calder’s jewelry, sculptor famous for its mobile works.
Sculptures that move: it was the specialty of one of the great artists of the twentieth century, Alexander Calder. But few know (perhaps) that Calder had also produced jewelry. And his art is now (September 27-November 5) the subject of an exhibition at Louisa Guinness Gallery in London. The exhibition is titled The Boldness of Calder and features some of the artist’s sculptures-jewelry from collections around the world. But the jewels, even if designed by an artist, are still jewelry: and so the exhibition also includes photographs showing women wearing pieces of Calder, as Simone de Beauvoir, Peggy Guggenheim, Georgia O’Keeffe. Often on the jewelry, there are also the initials of the customer. There are earrings, bracelets, necklaces, brooches, hair clips handmade, obviously with not exactly traditional forms, often quite large. The materials most used are silver, or brass.
