Illustrated throughout with b&w photography. Bright red boards. Fine in an excellent dust jacket. Please ignore glare in photo; it's a result of the removable archival jacket protector.

Text in French with contributions by Jean-Paul Sartre, and James Johnson Sweeney. 24 pieces were included in the exhibition, created between 1941 and 1946. The cover, frontispiece and three black and white plates from photographs by Herbert Matter. [From Calder Foundation website] Calder produces a series of small-scale works, many from scraps trimmed during the making of other objects. Let's mail these little objects to [Louis] Carré, in Paris, and have a show, Duchamp suggests when he sees them; by taking advantage of the newly available international airmail system, Duchamp's action predates "mail art" by nearly two decades. Carré responds to Duchamp's proposal. Interested show Calder miniatures would also gladly exhibit mobile sculptures available all sizes and colours. After 14 August 1945. Intrigued by the limitations on parcel size imposed by the U.S. Postal Service, Calder begins creating larger works for his show at Galerie Louis Carré that are collapsible and intended to be reassembled upon arrival in Paris. 5 6 June 1946: Calder takes his first transatlantic flight from New York to Paris to prepare for the exhibition at Galerie Louis Carré, Paris. 23 July 1946: The exhibition at Galerie Louis Carré is delayed and Calder returns to New York. 25 October 16 November 1946: "Alexander Calder: Mobiles, Stabiles, Constellations" is on view at Galerie Louis Carré, Paris. Henri Matisse attends the exhibition. Along with photographs by Matter, the catalogue includes two essays Sartre's "Les Mobiles de Calder" and Sweeney's "Alexander Calder.". Book.

The inscription reads: ''2 (or 4) / A Silver Anniversary / A Calder''. Calder's 85 drawings were executed in the spring of 1944. Printed by S. A. Jacobs at The Golden Eagle Press, Mt. Vernon, in Granjon type, on Arnold Unbleached paper. Rhymes from Mother Goose and other classic sources provide the inspiration for the eighty-five illustrations by Alexander Calder (1898-1976). Originally published in 1944, this compilation of the artist's frank depictions of nudes adds a decidedly adult cast, as well as a new depth and resonance, to a host of familiar chants and verses. James Johnson Sweeney, who selected the verses, contributes an insightful introductory essay. His scholarly study of the significance of the nursery rhyme tradition corresponds in wit and subtlety to the expressive brilliance of Calder's drawings. Signed by Author(s).
