Calder Identity Card Tee

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 tee features a photograph from Calder’s 1926 identity card. The text on the back comes from an original review of Calder’s Circus, written by French critic Legrand-Chabrier and published in the newspaper Candide on 23 June 1927.
