Calder Gardens, a new cultural destination dedicated to the art of Alexander Calder, opened to the public on 21 September. Located on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway between 21st and 22nd Streets, the 1.8-acre site was designed to immerse visitors in a space that catalyzes reflection and renewal, highlighting the interplay between art, architecture, and landscape-an open invitation to interpretation and discovery.

Calder’s grand-scale piece ‘Slender Legs’ (1959) is now on view in the historic heart of Monaco through 30 November. The standing mobile—a marriage of the artist's two signature sculptural innovations—is composed of lithe, free-moving ‘arms’ counterbalanced by an immobile triangular base, or the work's titular ‘legs.’ Five sharply angular elements coming off the sculpture’s arms are unfixed, poised to shift and slip in a breeze.

A virtual reality tour of ‘From the Stony River to the Sky’ at Hauser & Wirth Somerset, presenting almost 100 works by Alexander Calder, the majority of which have never before been exhibited in the UK. Running through all five gallery spaces, the exhibition also includes large-scale outdoor works set within the gardens at Durslade Farm.
