Calder's Portraits: A New Language July 11, 2011

Best known for his abstract mobiles and stabiles, Alexander Calder (1898-1976) was also a prolific portraitist. This unprecedented exhibition will feature Calder's work alongside contemporary documents - photographs, drawings, and especially caricatures by such artist-illustrators as Paolo Garretto, Miguel Covarrubias, and Paul Colin - and will pose questions regarding the line between fine-art portraiture and caricature.
