    I love that a well known, accomplished sculptor took the time to create a piece for a young man, one that he had only met, to make his birthday special. It’s incredibly heartwarming.

      He probably had it in his studio already, and just gifted it to the kid. I don't think Calder made it specifically for him.

    Lovely. An exquisite bijou. Delightful wee Calder. I particularly enjoyed the bit where he pretended he would never sell it. XD

    Ayant participé à la fabrication de dizaines d'oeuvres monumentales de Calder à Tours en France, cette maquette ne me semble pas datée de 1969, à cette époque il n'utilisait que des tôles d'aluminium de faible épaisseur et découpées avec une cisaille, ce qui n'est pas le cas pour cette maquette.

    BS-someone offers you 500k for it, you’re retiring to Florida

    You would have to be insane to pay $250K for that piece of junk. What garbage.

    What a piece of junk. I love art but only when the artist is truly talented. My 3 year old has made better. Some art valuations are absolutely shocking

      It's not particularly about the art with these pieces. It's more about the artist and their notoriety.
