ALEXANDER CALDER S. T. C. A. Circa 1926.
18x133/4 inches. Karl Gut Litho Co., New York.
Condtion A-: staining in upper left margin. Printed on card.
Although born into a family of artists, Calder didn't begin pursuing his artistic career until he was in his mid-twenties. He studied at the Art Student's League of New York from 1923-1926, after which he moved to Paris. This extremely scarce poster for a travel agency has an exceptionally modernist style and may, with the following lot, be the only commercial advertising the artist ever designed.
