Calder: Discipline of the Dance

In 1968, Juan García Ponce wrote about Calder’s monumental sculpture, El Sol Rojo, created for the Mexico City Olympic Games. ‘Calder is a great revolutionary artist’, he claimed. ‘In him ingenuity is always wisdom, and experiment is converted into a new order that follows and reproduces nature’s laws of change. He is a perpetuator of unexpected forms of balance through which sculpture has mastered the discipline of the dance.’

Decades later, Calder’s work returns to Mexico in the form of a major show at the Museo Jumex.
