In Alexander Calder’s nearly twelve-foot-long sculpture Tightrope (1936), four abstract wire forms are perched atop a steel line kept in tension by two posts. When activated, the forms come alive in myriad ways, evoking the anticipation and danger of real-life tightrope performances. Visit our website to watch Calder Foundation president Alexander S. C. Rower perform the work from start to finish. http://bit.ly/2uQG4F3 [© 2017 Calder Foundation, New York / Artists Rights Society [ARS], New York]
