The Alexander Calder tapestry Le Profil qui Disparait (Moon and Star) translates the artist’s playful abstraction into a bold woven composition, pairing primary colors with the simple, organic forms found throughout his gouaches. A black crescent moon with a single eye and pointed profile anchors the left side, while a seven-point red star outlined in yellow and blue spins on the right, creating a lively sense of balance and movement. Woven by the artisans of Atelier Pinton, the tapestry reflects Calder’s fascination with folk art and traditional making techniques, and like all of his textile collaborations, it merges his precise shapes with the weavers’ subtle improvisations in texture—resulting in a work that feels both faithful to the artist and animated by the craft that brought it to life.
