The first exhibition of works by Alexander Calder (1898-1976) is due to open in Russia next month at the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow. "Alexander Calder: Retrospective" (June 8 - August 30) includes 52 works drawn from the New York-based Calder Foundation, along with several key pieces on loan from private collections based in Russia.

“Remarkably, there have been very few exhibitions with Calder’s work in Russia,” says Alexander Rower, Calder’s grandson and president of the Calder Foundation.
