Alexander Calder: A Balancing Line

The Serralves Museum of Contemporary Art is honoured to present a new exhibition, organised in collaboration with the Musée national d’art moderne, Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris, that is dedicated to one of the most influential sculptors ofthe twentieth century: Alexander Calder.

The exhibition includes some of Calder’s most important works from his Paris years, made in wire, created at the same time as his Circus figurines, an important group of mobiles from the 1940s. In the year in which we are commemorating the centenary of the Serralves Park, the exhibition also reveals an important group of Calder’s monumental sculptures displayed in several different sites of the gardens.

The exhibition is curated by Philippe Vergne with coordination of Filipa Loureiro.
