This
exhibition focused on the dramatic late works of
one of the modern era's greatest sculptors. Calder (1898-1976) began in 1936 to
develop ideas and methods for creating monumental sculptures to be sited
outdoors; after World War II, he at last had the opportunity to realize such
grand-scale projects, which became a primary focus of his art for his last two
decades.
The largest group of these works ever assembled-18 in all, many of them unseen
in public for years or never previously exhibited-will rise on the lawn and
fields of Storm King for Grand Intuitions. Inside the museum building, an
installation of another half-dozen historically significant sculptures, as well
as more than two dozen maquettes-the preparatory models-give visitors an insight
into Calder's process of making large-scale works. Also on view in the museum
building are photo panels showing Calder's studio, historic gallery
installations, and on-site views of major public sculptures.
The works on loan for Grand Intuitions: Calder's Monumental Sculpture are
courtesy of the Calder Foundation, New York. Alexander S.C. Rower, a grandson of
Alexander Calder and Director of the Calder Foundation, is the guest curator for
the exhibition, with David R. Collens, Director and Chief Curator of Storm King
Art Center.
