Calder - Further reading


What can I say? Arlene has an incredible art library:

ROARR Calder's Circus, Maira Kalman, Delacorte Press 1993, ISBN 0-385-30916-3

A children's book, but that doesn't mean you won't enjoy it

Calder An Autobiography with Pictures, Pantheon Books 1977, ISBN 0-394-73408-4
It means it when it says "with pictures"

Fables of Aesop with fifty drawings by Alexander Calder, Dover, 1967, ISBN 0-486-21780-9
It's remarkable how much his drawings look like his wire sculptures

Mostly pictures

Alexander Calder and his Magical Mobiles, Jean Lipman, Hudson Hills Press, 1981, ISBN 0-933920-18-0
