A sweeping look at the enduring resonance of the American modernist’s art with Japanese traditions and aesthetics

While Alexander Calder (1898–1976) never traveled to Japan, he was embraced by many of the country’s artists and poets during his lifetime. Published on the occasion of the first monographic exhibition of work by Calder to be mounted in Tokyo in nearly 35 years, Un effet du japonais explores how Calder’s art continues to resonate with Japanese culture and aesthetics.

Documenting 98 works from the collection of the Calder Foundation that span the 1930s to the 1970s, alongside extensive installation photography, this bilingual volume sheds new light on the artist’s mobiles, stabiles, standing mobiles, oil paintings and works on paper.

Exploring the enduring resonance of the American modernist’s art with Japanese traditions and aesthetics, Calder: Un effet du japonais marks the first exhibition dedicated to Calder’s work to be mounted in Tokyo in nearly 35 years. Our publication features writings by Calder Foundation President Alexander S. C. Rower, who curated the exhibition in Tokyo; architect Stephanie Goto, a longtime Calder Foundation collaborator who has created a bespoke design for the show featuring elegant and modern references to Japanese architecture and materials.; Pace CEO Marc Glimcher; Susan Braeuer Dam, Director of Research and Publications at the Calder Foundation; poet and essayist Jane Hirshfield; author Jean McGarry; and Akira Tatehata, a distinguished poet and critic and the Director of the Museum of Modern Art, Saitama, in Japan.
