Alexander Calder: Works Photographed by Pedro E. Guerrero

Clip: 9/18/2015 | 2m 19s

Guerrero photographed Calder's works at his home, his studios, and around the world.

Photographs of Alexander Calder's mobile and stabile sculptures in open landscapes, at Lincoln Center in New York City, and in Spoleto, Italy, show how Pedro E. Guerrero captured the art works' relationship to space, to the workers who created them, and to the public that observed them. Guerrero and Professor Joan Marter, who knew both Calder and Guerrero, provide commentary on Calder and photos.
