#1938 Alexander Calder "Lion Tamer" #7/75, Signed

With its theatrical imagery and unmistakable linework, this signed and numbered Alexander Calder lithograph captures the artist’s enduring fascination with movement, performance, and playful abstraction. Lion Tamer presents Calder’s iconic circus-inspired subject matter through bold graphic forms and expressive color, balancing whimsy with the confident composition that defines his most sought-after works.
This example, numbered 7 from an edition of 75, is pencil signed by Calder and professionally framed for presentation. An especially desirable feature is the included photograph documenting the artist signing this very print — a rare and highly collectible piece of provenance that adds another layer of historical significance and authenticity.
Originally celebrated for his revolutionary mobiles and monumental public sculpture, Calder also produced an exceptional body of graphic works that translated his sculptural energy into two dimensions. His circus imagery, in particular, remains among the most recognizable and beloved themes within his oeuvre, referencing the miniature performances he famously staged throughout his career.  
A striking and investment-worthy work from one of the most influential artists of the 20th century, this lithograph works equally well in refined contemporary interiors, serious art collections, or eclectic modern spaces.
