Calder made his first pieces of jewelry in 1906, for his sister Peggy's dolls, collecting "very fine copper wire [found] in the street left over by men splicing electric cables." From the late 1920s, he crafted pieces working by hand with pliers, using brass wire often with shards of glass or ceramic as the jewels. In the following decades he employed silver and occasionally gold to fashion his pieces. Between "wearable art" and
"unwearable jewelry," to use the terms of art historian Mark Rosenthal, Calder's jewelry is often realized from found materials, and each piece is unique. It is a testament to his ability to explore the essence of his practice at incredibly reduced scales. Expressions of nature's energy and geometry, but also indigenous Oceanic, pre-Columbian, and African arts, can be seen. These bracelets, earrings, rings, belts, necklaces, brooches, tiaras, and crowns allow the relationships the artist forged with his loved ones to be traced. He made numerous pieces of jewelry for his wife, Louisa, but also for Charlotte Perriand, Jeanne Buñuel, exhibited here, and other personalities including Peggy Guggenheim, Bella Chagall, Teeny Matisse Duchamp, and Elisa Breton.
Copied from the guide at the exhibition in Paris this summer.
