Although celebrated for his work in three dimensions, Calder was also a prodigious painter. In the 1940s, as he became increasingly prolific in his sculptural output, he delved into gouache painting. Some of these works on paper explore concepts that the artist would later develop in mobiles, stabiles, and standing mobiles. The volumetric, intertwined forms in Bollards express dynamic energy in two dimensions and foreshadow aspects of large-scale stabiles such as Trois bollards (1970) and Bollard (1970).

About Alexander Calder

Alexander Calder (1898–1976) was an American sculptor celebrated as the inventor of the mobile. Trained as an engineer, he combined playful wit with mechanical ingenuity, creating hanging abstract sculptures of balanced, brightly coloured forms that move with the air, as well as monumental stationary works known as stabiles that stand in public spaces around the world.
