Alexander Calder's grandson explains the magic of Calder Gardens

“Calder famously said in 1932 that his work has no meaning, but that doesn’t mean that it’s meaningless. It means that there’s no prescribed intention for how you would engage his work,” said Alexander S.C. Rower, the sculptor’s grandson and president of the Calder Foundation, which owns much of the artwork on display in the Gardens’ galleries.
