Description

A sumptuous compendium of Alexander Calder’s chess works, with ephemera and archival materials This handsome volume celebrates Alexander Calder’s fascination with the game of chess. It comprises two parts: the first presents The Knightmares Portfolio, an approximation of an unrealized publication conceived in 1944 but never published. It comprises 46 chess drawings by Calder inscribed with titles, alternate titles and puns by Duchamp, Mary Reynolds and Calder. The second part of the book features scholarly and experimental texts from Alexander S. C. Rower and Jed Pearl, exploring such topics as Calder’s relationship with Marcel Duchamp (who was famously obsessed with chess) and his involvement in the 1944 exhibition The Imagery of Chess at Julien Levy Gallery. Archival documentation, ephemera and reproductions of Calder’s chess sets―including photographs of each chess piece and related works on paper―are also featured. A detailed chronology by Susan Brauer Dam completes this rich corpus.
