Calder Suitcase 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 is printed with a remastered still from the 1955 film Le Grand Cirque Calder 1927, directed by Jean Painlevé, showing Calder unpacking the Circus from its original suitcases.
