This exhibition will showcase approximately 300 works, comprehensively tracing Calder's artistic career over nearly fifty years. It encompasses his most iconic "Mobiles" and "Stabiles," as well as various creative types including painting, drawing, line portraiture, wood carving, jewelry, and stage experimental works, presenting his continuous exploration and breakthroughs in the language of "movement, balance, and space."
