- Lot Description
Alexander S. Calder (Am. 1898-1976) classic silver hand hammered cuff form openwork scrolled bracelet, circa 1966. 2" high, 2 3/8" inner width, 2 3/4" outer width, 1 1/2" deep. Provenance: Private collection, New York City, acquired directly from the artist (a gift from the artist to the owner which was given on November 10, 1976 on the occasion of the opening of the Calder exhibit at the Whitney Museum for her birthday on November 11,1976). This may well be the last gift made by Calder, as his untimely and unexpected death occurred on the next day, November 11, 1976. Together with a photo and description card from Perls Gallery, bearing the date 1966 and identification number “47”. In 1954 Perls Galleries became Alexander Calder's dealer after the death of Calder's previous dealer, Curt Valentin. Perls explained his inclusion of Calder, a rare American among his stable of European artists, by saying that Calder's roots lay in France and that Calder bridged Europe and America the way Perls felt he did himself. In 1970, Calder designed the terrazzo sidewalk in front of the gallery and often resided in the Perls' home during long visits to New York City. Perls Galleries later handled Calder's estate and functioned as a quasi-archive of Calder's works, holding more than 7,000 negatives depicting Calder's art and preparing a Calder catalogue raisonné. The purchaser will be given a sworn notarized statement regarding the provenance of this bracelet.
