Collier

ca. 1940
Not on view
Alexander Calder a produit plus de mille huit cents bijoux, la plupart entre 1933 et 1952, qu’il destinait surtout à des parents ou à des amis, pour des occasions spéciales. Comme ses mobiles et ses sculptures en fil métallique, chaque collier, bracelet, bague, épinglette ou boucle d’oreille est une pièce unique où s’expriment l’intelligence de son regard et ses talents de façonneur de métal. Ce collier est composé de fils de laiton aplatis au marteau puis assemblés en arabesques, technique qui évoque forcément ses premiers portraits en fil de fer.
