Want to sell an Alexander Calder mobile, stabile, sculpture, gouache, drawing or print? Send photographs and the information you have for a confidential gallery review. For works we are actively seeking, we may make a direct purchase offer.
Work directly with our gallery owners to discuss your artwork and the next steps. There is no obligation to sell, and you do not need complete documentation to begin.
Send Photographs of Your Calder
Use the form below. Include whatever you have from this short checklist:
- Clear photographs of the complete artwork, signature and any labels.
- Several views for sculpture; front and reverse for paper works where safely accessible.
- Dimensions, current location, title or date if known, and any condition concerns.
- Ownership history, purchase records and existing Calder Foundation correspondence, if available.
What Happens After You Submit?
- We review the photographs, identifying details, condition and available documentation.
- We discuss any further research or inspection needed and consider relevant market comparisons.
- If the work fits our acquisitions, we may make an offer. You can review the proposed amount and terms before deciding.
Begin Remotely, Wherever Your Artwork Is Located
You can begin with photographs and documents without visiting the gallery. We work with private collectors, families and estates in the United States and internationally.
If a purchase is agreed, we can coordinate payment, professional packing, insurance and fine-art transportation under the agreed terms. Mobiles and large sculptures may require specialist handling. Please leave the artwork as it is while we discuss the appropriate next steps.
