Detailed information
Alexander Calder’s radical contribution to art history were his three-dimensional drawings in space. Here his poetic ability to depict movement is rendered on a hand woven wool tapestry created at the world famous studios in Aubusson, France.
This is one of a series of six tapestries Calder created to commemorate the 200th Anniversary of the American Revolution. The tapestries were hand woven by Pinton Freres in Aubusson, France.
