Lot Essay


Alexander Calder’s lively geometric sculptures directly influenced Wood during the inception of the series. Though three-dimensional, Calder’s work has an alluring, somewhat ironic flatness that allows the sculptures to appear like free-floating drawings in space. Like Wood, Calder resisted perspective in many of his works, creating the illusion of flatness in three dimensions.
—C. Peipon, Hammer Projects: Jonas Wood, exh. cat., Los Angeles, Hammer Museum, 2010
