Calder Suitcase Box

This piece was created in honor of the centennial celebration of Calder’s Circus, in collaboration with the Calder Foundation and the Whitney Museum of American Art. Calder began his Circus in Paris in 1926 as a portable distillation of the natural circus fashioned from wire, cork, fabric, and other materials—at once sculpture, theater, and performance.


This wooden box references the five suitcases used to store and transport Calder’s Circus. It features period-specific ephemera and exact replicas of the original travel stamps, hotel stickers, and train tickets affixed to Calder’s valises, along with the artist’s painted signature. Each item is unique; no two pieces are exactly alike.
