CALDER AND TARA DONOVAN Donovan chose one of Alexander Calder’s last works, the distinctive Mountains (1:5 intermediate maquette, 1976), as a touchpoint for this exhibition. Like the vast majority of the legendary sculptor’s masterpieces, Mountains is black. Donovan explains, “My primary (though not sole) focus on the color black references Calder’s use of black in many of his works as a neutralizing force that flattens sculptural shapes.”
