The studio had opened following a celebrated exhibition organised by the Smithsonian Institution in 1963, which had introduced Mourlot's work to American audiences for the first time. Calder — the most transatlantic of the great masters, equally at home in Connecticut, Paris and Saché — was the natural ambassador for this encounter between two worlds. This example is printed on Arches paper, the most prestigious archival stock in Mourlot's repertoire, reserved for the finest impressions and the most significant pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlexander Calder\u003c\/strong\u003e (1898–1976), born in Philadelphia into a family of sculptors, transformed the history of art with a single invention: the mobile. By introducing movement, chance and air into sculpture, he dissolved the boundary between art and the natural world. His stabiles populate public spaces from the Centre Pompidou in Paris to Lincoln Center in New York. His lithographic work — characterised by bold primary colours, biomorphic forms and a graphic confidence that translates his sculptural language directly onto the flat surface — is among the most joyful and collectible in the history of 20th-century printmaking. A closer look at any Calder lithograph reveals the hidden vocabulary of his imagination: stars, plants, animals, constellations — a whole universe compressed into colour and shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 115 Bank Street studio was a pivotal moment for Mourlot, and Calder's contribution to the series of posters commissioned to celebrate its opening is among the most vibrant and sought-after. Printed in six colours on Arches paper — the gold standard of lithographic stock — it is a piece that honours both the artist's vision and the atelier's unmatched craft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis example is in excellent condition — grade A — and is presented unframed, ready for the wall it deserves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eA rare and transatlantic piece — Calder at his most exuberant, on Arches paper, for the studio that brought Mourlot to New York.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"nbmposter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45142601957485,"sku":null,"price":970.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0017\/3811\/3082\/files\/calder_nyc.png?v=1777240494","url":"https:\/\/www.nbmposter.com\/fr\/products\/original-calder-poster-atelier-mourlot-115-bank-street-1967-arches-paper","provider":"nbmposter","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
