Plate 5 from Derrière le Miroir No. 212 (1975) brings Calder's signature wit and graphic energy to a playful subject. Published by Galerie Maeght in Paris, this large-format lithograph captures the animated spirit of a card game through Calder's bold, flat planes of color and fluid line. The work belongs to one of the most celebrated artist-publisher collaborations of the twentieth century — DLM was a vehicle for the greatest names in modern art, and Calder's contributions remain among the most sought-after. At 15 × 22 inches, this unnumbered lithograph makes a commanding statement and is an ideal acquisition for the collector drawn to Calder's joyful, irreverent vision.
