 In 1975 a commission from Braniff International Airlines, the DC-8 jet Flying Colors, made this inaugural flight from Dallas with stops in Los Angeles, Chicago, Washington, D.C., Miami, and Latin America.


Cool News: The Calder Foundation has launched a new online research archive of his work.

"So far, the archive includes over 1,300 Calder works across different media; 1,000 photographs and archival documents; and 48 historic and recent texts by the artist, his contemporaries, and present-day scholars. The platform also features over 40 microsites exploring Calder’s exhibition history, a gold mine for academic researchers looking for hard-to-find checklists, installation images, and inventory drawings.

"Viewers can discover public installations of Calder’s works around the world using a new interactive feature on the website, including temporary and permanent outdoor displays and museum holdings.

Geek out. The guy was so open-minded and so prolific. Jewelry? Posters? Airplanes? They all deserve imagination.
