Alexander Calder – Avantgarde in Motion

http://www.kunstsammlung.de

More than 70 works by the American artist are shown in a new exhibit at Düsseldorf’s K20 museum, highlighting his kinetic avant-garde art from the 1930s and 40s. Alexander Calder’s art centers around the movement of objects in space, and his elegant mobile sculptures made him one of the most important artists of the 20th century. The city’s tourism office is offering hotel and city specials for many of the city’s art-related events throughout 2013, including “Avantgarde in Motion.” The travel package called “Düsseldorf à la Card” can be booked right from the tourism office’s website at http://www.duesseldorf-tourismus.de/en/hotel-packages/duesseldorf-a-la-card/.
