Alexander Calder would be 113 years old today. We, along with Google and much of the art community, celebrate his contribution not only to the art world but to our world here as Grand Rapidians.
The above slideshow was created by simply putting in the search word "calder" in our Rapidian flickr pool. Seeing these images, it's evident how much La Grande Vitesse, brought to Grand Rapids in 1969, has become a part of our history and our lives.
