Pace Hong Kong is honored to announce an exhibition of works by Alexander Calder, on view from 28 May through 16 July 2016, with an opening reception for the public on Friday, 27 May, from 6 to 8 p.m. The exhibition will present eleven works, including hanging mobiles, standing mobiles and stabiles, made between 1936 and 1969.

Alexander Calder transformed the landscape of art with his contributions to sculpture, redefining the traditionally static medium with his kinetic constructions of suspended, abstract forms. He is renowned for his invention of the mobile—a term coined by Marcel Duchamp—in 1931. Rejecting hierarchies of material, Calder used industrial media including wire and sheet metal in his compositional investigations of matter, line and space.
