Largest Alexander Calder Exhibition Opens at Tate (London)

The largest Alexander Calder exhibition titled Alexander Calder: Performing Sculpture opens at Tate Modern (London) tomorrow with over 100 works, and runs from Nov 11 2015 until Apr 3 2016. The Guardian writes: “The exhibition is both a reminder of how good he could be, and a revelation of how complex and far-reaching his influence still is.”

The exhibition includes Black Widow (1948) on loan outside of Brazil for the first time:

The large mobile has hung at the Instituto de Arquitetos do Brasil in Sao Paulo for more than 50 years:
