You are in front of the last model made by Calder. This is the story:

In May 1976, the director of the Kröller-Müller Museum in Otterlo asked Calder to create a monumental sculpture for the Museum’s garden. Calder and his wife, Louisa, travelled to the Netherlands to see the space where the sculpture would be.

Soon after, Calder began making the maquette. He sent the model and waited for the museum’s response. The answer was yes, but when they called Calder’s house to tell him with great enthusiasm, it was his wife who answered the phone with the bad news of the artist’s death a few days earlier. Can you imagine the director’s emotion in that moment?

This model belongs to the Kröller-Müller Museum and the director said:
“I see it every day and dream of things that probably cannot be anymore”

So never stop dreaming. Dreaming we do many more things than in our lifetime, but these dreams are the engines that drive the rest of our actions.

Thank you so much for allowing us to guide you. We hope to see you soon!
