This is a photo that an artist friend of mine gave me 25+ years ago. It is a 1975 model. Enjoy

As a furniture designer, and big Calder fan, I'd love a good copy of these two pics, or especially the top one...any way?
Thanks for any consideration,

Sad seeing it caged like that....a bit like watching a lion at a zoo.

yes, true ... but with the many thousands of people who could touch it, drip something on it, rub against it ... why take a chance with a historic car and a very large piece of priceless abstract art covering the amazing race car. i would also guess that they want to filter ultra-violet light to reduce oxidation / breakdown of the paint.

sad yes ... but this car must be preserved.

One way to keep greasy fingers and scratchy belt buckles away.
Hmmm, I wonder if I can buy one?

Calder

I grew up and went to school with his grandson Sandy (Alexander) Calder in NJ. I remember seeing his Mobiles hanging in the Guggenheim Museum in NYC.
