Alexander Calder (1898–1976) – "Derrière Le Miroir No. 156" – Illustrated Exhibition Portfolio (1965)
This striking issue of Derrière Le Miroir (No. 156) was published in 1965 to coincide with Alexander Calder’s exhibition at Galerie Maeght in Paris. The portfolio includes a selection of his bold, abstract forms — translated into vibrant prints and monochromatic compositions, highlighting his signature exploration of movement, balance, and playfulness.The cover features a dynamic silhouette of a biomorphic figure, rendered in solid black, combining humor and surrealism with an undercurrent of primitive energy. The minimal layout with bold blue typography underscores Calder’s modernist ethos.Calder, an American sculptor known for inventing the mobile, was a central figure in 20th-century abstraction. His work in Derrière Le Miroir exemplifies his shift from kinetic sculpture to two-dimensional experimentations — maintaining the same sense of rhythm and formal invention.Artist or Maker: Alexander Calder (1898-1976)Medium: Illustrated exhibition portfolioDate: 1965Dimensions: 28 cm x 38 cmCondition Report:This work is in good condition overall.
