Alexander Calder. Graphic Clipping from an unidentified Perls? Catalog, similar to the one used by Calder for the "Hello, Grand Rapids" image.
Scope and Contents
Included here are three original graphic items created by Alexander Calder. All are drawn on reused paper, taken from a printed source. Foremost is the sketch of Nancy Mulnix signed “Calder;” Calder drew this on what appears to be part of a Perls Gallery catalog. A line profile of Nancy Mulnix is drawn over the written text of a tear sheet from an unidentified source. The final unique sketch is Calder writing “Hello GR Rapids,” as if he was speaking this from his mouth, on his own image taken, apparently, from a Perls Gallery catalog.
