Calder solo show
Till 5 November, the Louisa Guinness Gallery hosts the works of the innovator artist
The Boldness of Calder at the Louisa Guinness Gallery is the first solo exhibition in the UK of Alexander Calder’s jewellery. Calder was an innovator in concept, materials and form; his earrings, bracelets, headdresses, necklaces and brooches were deeply unconventional in their time and continue to influence contemporary art today. The solo show presents the major pieces of Calder jewellery from around the world amongst iconic images of the jewellery being worn on notable women throughout history, as well as contemporary images commissioned especially for the show.
