Original Exhibition Poster - Calder, Musée National d’Art Moderne - 1965

Published for the major Calder retrospective at the Musée National d’Art Moderne in Paris in 1965, this original poster is a graphic work that is both striking and emblematic. Printed by R.R.G. Imp. Arte, it was created after a work by the artist, fully in line with his visual language of free forms, sharp contrasts, and playful wit.

On a white background, two stylized figures stand out with immediate impact: one, in bright red, raises its arm as if to greet or beckon, while the other, striped in black, evokes a tribal mask or an imaginary creature. This strange and joyful duo recalls Calder’s sculptures and mobiles - their balance, rhythm, and spatial presence. The poster combines graphic precision with a primitive whimsy, expressing the artist’s deeply free-spirited vision.

Printed in lithography, measuring 23.8 x 16.1 in, linen-backed and in A+ condition, this exhibition poster captivates with its visual clarity and bold aesthetic. A refined tribute to one of the most singular creators of the 20th century, blending playful abstraction with formal poetry.
