Calder / Miró: Claire de lune

22 Feb-18 Apr 2019

Overview

Nahmad Projects is pleased to announce “Calder / Miró: Clair de lune,” running from the 22 February to 18 April 2019. The exhibition features sculptures by Alexander Calder and paintings by Joan Miró, exploring the artistic impact of their friendship. The artists’ lifelong affinity lasted from their initial meeting in 1928 through to old age, with continuous correspondence disrupted only by war. Calder’s monumental mobile, Blue and Yellow Among Reds (1964) will dance next to Joan Miro’s great canvas of the same period: Oiseau dans la nuit (1967). The pairing draws attention to the formal and theoretical parallels of these large-scale works.
