A new book collecting the written works and statements of renowned American sculptor Alexander Calder has been published by No More Rulers, offering readers unprecedented insight into the artistic philosophy and creative process of one of the 20th century's most influential artists. The compilation brings together Calder's scattered writings, interviews, and personal reflections that have been previously difficult to access in a single volume.

Alexander Calder, best known for his innovative mobiles and large-scale public sculptures, was not only a visual artist but also a thoughtful writer who frequently articulated his views on art, creativity, and the role of sculpture in modern society. Throughout his career, which spanned from the 1920s until his death in 1976, Calder produced numerous written pieces that accompanied his artistic output, providing valuable context for understanding his revolutionary approach to kinetic sculpture.

The new publication by No More Rulers Press represents a significant contribution to art historical scholarship, as it makes Calder's literary output more accessible to researchers, students, and art enthusiasts. Many of these texts had been published in various art magazines, exhibition catalogs, and journals over the decades, making them challenging for readers to locate and study comprehensively.

Calder's written works reveal his deep thinking about the relationship between art and movement, his fascination with balance and space, and his commitment to creating art that could interact dynamically with its environment. His writings also document his artistic evolution from early wire sculptures to the massive outdoor installations that became his signature works in later decades.

This compilation is expected to provide valuable insights for scholars studying mid-20th century American art and will likely serve as an important resource for understanding the theoretical foundations behind Calder's groundbreaking contributions to modern sculpture.
