Description:
New York: Museum of Modern Art [MOMA], 1951. Revised Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Very Good +. Alexander Calder. Small 4to. Pp. 80. Extensive bibliography. Illustrated throughout with b&w photography. Bright red boards. Fine in an excellent dust jacket. Please ignore glare in photo; it's a result of the removable archival jacket protector. This early catalog sets straight today's common misconception that Calder's work came about as part of the Pop Art movement; indeed, he was well ahead of it. This edition revises and slightly enlarges the 1943 first edition. A lovely copy.
