Current & Upcoming Exhibitions

The exhibition will showcase the pioneering role Calder played to carve out essential space for innovative artistic approaches and methodologies. His works will be presented in dialogue with five internationally based artists working today—Davide Balula, Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley, Libby Heaney, Jakob Kudsk Steensen, and Analisa Teachworth—who are influenced by the myriad ecological, social, and political forces shaping the contemporary moment.

Three large-scale stabiles are installed among the rolling hills of Storm King, three of which are on loan from the Calder Foundation.

One of the two tower galleries in the museum’s I.M. Pei-designed East Building boasts the world’s largest permanent display of works by Calder, including several long-term loans from the Calder Foundation.

Calder’s friend, the critic Giovanni Carandente, donated a large portion of his personal collection to establish a modern art gallery in Spoleto’s Palazzo Collicola in 2000. Included is a permanent installation of Calder’s work and a maquette for the city’s monumental stabile Teodelapio, which the artist executed in 1962.
