This piece was created by Bode in honor of the centennial celebration of Calder’s Circus, in collaboration with the Calder Foundation and the Whitney Museum of American Art. First created in Paris in 1926, Alexander Calder’s Cirque is a portable miniature circus fashioned from wire, cork, fabric, and other materials—at once sculpture, theater, and performance. This tee features a photograph from Calder’s 1926 identity card. The text on the back comes from an original review of the Cirque, written by French critic Legrand-Chabrier and published in the newspaper Candide on the 23 June, 1927. 100% Cotton Made in the USA About the Designer: Bode is an American luxury brand, founded in 2016 by Emily Adams Bode Aujla and defined by its dedication to storytelling, craft, and American history.
