拍品專文

One of Alexander Calder’s celebrated standing mobiles, Very Crinkly, 1970, is an excellent example of the more intimate and personal contemplations on form and gesture from later in the artist’s career. Created at a time when Calder was widely known and revered for his large installations in public spaces, his smaller works from the 1960s and 1970s indicate a return to the origin of his creative style.

Color was a very important element in Calder's work and Very Crinkly superbly demonstrates the very heart of his color philosophy. For Calder, color was not decorative but an intrinsic part of the composition. He used color to distinguish elements from each other. “I want things to be differentiated. Black and white are first - then red is next” (A. Calder, Calder, London, 2004, p. 89).
