Today lunch in the gallery and then viewed the Alexander Calder (1898-1976) exhibition. I particularly liked his wire sculptures. According to the NGV site:
Alexander Calder: Radical Inventor introduces audiences to the full breadth of Calder’s influential career as an inventor of new artistic forms. The exhibition provides a rich overview of Calder’s extensive oeuvre, including his explorative two-dimensional studies of line and space, his three-dimensional wire portraits and circus figures, as well as his most acclaimed artistic inventions, the mobile and the stabile.
This piece made when he was 11.
