CALDER, SLOW AND FAST
Who doesn’t love the kinetic, colorful, and cheering art of Alexander Calder? Images of his home and studio in the surrounds of the french countyside speak of a life charmingly led. (via the nicely nice Nick Haus)
Not in the least bucolic is the very speedy 1975 bmw 3.0 skinned by Calder for his racing friend Hervé Poulain. Debuting at the Le Mans 24-hour race this first bmw art car was remarkable for how Calder’s design broke the form of the car and transformed something fabricated by others into a work that was entirely his. // We heart Sandy. //
