The Israel Museum presents "Circus People": an exhibit of prints and drawings centered around the theme of circuses.
January 17, 2012-December 31, 2012
Location: Unspecified
Artist: Alexander Calder
Media: Iron-wire sculptures
American artist Alexander Calder (1898-1976) was fascinated with the circus. He created a miniature circus - iron-wire sculptures with which he would perform, and which evolved into his renowned sculptural mobiles - and frequently depicted scenes from the circus world. Prints based on his drawings capturing its spectacular atmosphere will be presented here. They will be joined by prints by Picasso and Toulouse-Lautrec, as well as by Aviva Uri's drawings on the same subject. All of the works on display are from the Museum's collection of Prints and Drawings.
Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday 10:00 to 17:00; Tuesday 16:00 to 21:00; Friday 10:00 to 14:00
