Galerie Hadjer sets Calder’s Tapestries in the spotlight
Alexander Calder, a pioneer of modern art, is gaining renewed recognition for his vibrant textile works. Long overshadowed by his mobiles, his tapestries -created with the Aubusson workshops - are now featured in top museums and international art fairs. At the Norton Museum of Art, Calder’s Art Car was recently shown beneath a monumental tapestry, highlighting his cohesive vision across mediums. The Bechtler Museum of Modern Art also showcases key pieces, affirming the importance of Calder’s textile legacy. Galerie Hadjer, a longtime advocate of Calder’s tapestries, continues to promote their artistic significance at global fairs like Art Basel, TEFAF and BRAFA-Brussels, revealing the bold, graphic beauty of his woven masterpieces.
