Offered here is A Salute to Alexander Calder, a Museum of Modern Art, New York exhibition catalog with an introductory essay by Bernice Rose. This copy is the second printing, March 1970. MoMA identifies the title as a 1969 paperback exhibition catalogue, and the Museum’s exhibition history places the Calder show from December 18, 1969 to February 15, 1970. The Calder Foundation also includes it in the official exhibition bibliography.
The catalog surveys Calder’s work across multiple mediums, including sculpture, works on paper, prints, illustrated books, and jewelry, making it a particularly attractive reference for collectors who want more than just a narrow mobile/stabile overview. Period MoMA press materials note that the exhibition checklist/catalog included Bernice Rose’s essay and was sold through the Museum bookstores.
