The Calder Foundation was incorporated by Alexander Calder’s family as a private operating foundation in 1987. The Foundation runs its own programs, collaborates on exhibitions and publications, and gives advice on matters such as the history, assembly, and restoration of works by Calder. The Foundation gives no grants and makes no appraisals.
The Foundation also seeks advice concerning Calder’s work and life and other issues related to the art world from outside scholars and professionals.
