URDE Fine Art Auction Presents Alexander Calder Paper Cut-Out, Charlie Brown Publicity Cels
Mar 28, 2023 12:00 EDT - Apr 10, 2023 22:00 EDTThe son of an established artistic family, Alexander Calder spent his childhood tinkering with wire, cloth, and other materials. He later dabbled in mechanical engineering before turning to art full-time. This background influenced the geometric, delicately balanced mobiles and paper sculptures that became Calder’s signature. Leading the upcoming Fine Art & Photography sale from URDE Fine Art Auction is an original drawing on cut-out paper by Alexander Calder. This untitled piece from 1966 was executed with crayon and pencil. It portrays a fantastical creature with the body of a giraffe, the high-heeled feet of a person, and an American flag in place of a head.
This timed sale includes a broad selection of photographs and prints from notable artists such as Peter Max, Russell Young, and Ansel Adams. Among the top lots is a hand-signed color model/ publicity cels by Charles Schulz depicting the beloved characters of Charlie Brown and Lucy. In these cels, Lucy plays her classic trick on Charlie Brown, pulling a football away just before he can kick it. Bidders can also consider a 1978 etching and aquatint from Helen Frankenthaler, a 2002 etching by Damien Hirst, and assorted wildlife photography by David Yarrow.
