Collana

ca. 1940
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 965
Calder creò oltre milleottocento gioielli, la maggior parte dei quali tra il 1933 e il 1952. Molti di questi pezzi furono fabbricati appositamente per parenti o amici e donati in occasioni speciali. Ogni collana, bracciale, anello, spilla o paio di orecchini era un pezzo fatto a mano dal design esclusivo, frutto del talento dell’artista come lavoratore di metalli e del suo ingegno visivo, proprio come per la creazione dei mobili e delle sculture in fil di ferro. Questa collana fu eseguita martellando dei fili di ottone per farne delle strisce piatte, poi modellate in un disegno lineare che richiama direttamente i primi ritratti in filo metallico eseguiti dall’artista.
