His sculptures are renowned for their innovative ability to transform mundane found materials such as wire, sheet metal, and metallic rods into whimsical works through the advent of colour, size, and, most famously, movement. Calder is recognized for his ability to transgress the boundaries of sculpture in the unique way he animates his pieces both playfully and performatively.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Calder was born in Pennsylvania to parents that were both artists. He originally pursued a career in mechanical engineering which greatly influenced his artistry, evidenced through his source materials. In the mid 1920s, he moved to Paris and enrolled in the Acad\u00e9mie de la Grande Chaumi\u00e8re where he developed his first canonical piece: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Cirque Calder<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It consisted of hundreds of miniature wired sculptures the artist manipulated himself to perform a small-scale mechanical circus. Calder received his first solo exhibition in 1927.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the 1930s, Calder befriended various avant-garde artists including Fernand L\u00e9ger, Marcel Duchamp, Joan Miro, and Piet Mondrian. His relationships with these artists, particularly Mondrian, heavily influenced his artistic practice as he was introduced to abstraction. Calder\u2019s work evolved from figurative sculpture to more abstract works that emphasized colour and shape, yet continued to be lively in their allusions to the natural world and the presence they take up where ever they reside.\u00a0In addition to sculpture, he worked heavily in print media as well as in tapestry.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, Calder\u2019s sculptures proliferate throughout the art world and are showcased in many major museums around the world such as the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.moma.org\/about\/new-moma?gclid=CjwKCAjwzJjrBRBvEiwA867bykhWOxnS-0ZyKxD3XznFE5-02jb8g-uuTxmbpO8R41CaEPUcGa7TDxoCwF8QAvD_BwE&amp;gclsrc=aw.ds\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Museum of Modern Art<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in New York, the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitney.org\/?catype=general&amp;catword=%2Bwhitney%20%2Bmuseum&amp;creativeid=372942983888&amp;gclid=CjwKCAjwzJjrBRBvEiwA867byjS-RsS3unWnl-ssKTh8LbpNbowTb_s2TXqfTpC-kB6bTR_wpuC3SRoCTMIQAvD_BwE\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whitney Museum of American Art<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in New York and the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.centrepompidou.fr\/en\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Centre Pompidou<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in Paris.
