Alexander "Sandy" Calder (/ ˈ k ɔː l d ər /; July 22, 1898 – November 11, 1976) was an American sculptor known both for his innovative mobiles (kinetic sculptures powered by motors or air currents) that embrace chance in their aesthetic, his static "stabiles", and his monumental public sculptures.

Founded in 1989, [1] by members of Alexander Calder's family in collaboration with the Centre national des arts plastiques (CNAP), the Atelier Calder residency program offers artists the residencies to create new work and projects in Calder's studio and home in Saché, France.
The group expanded with the addition of artists such as Fernand Léger, Joan Miró, Bram and Geer Van Velde, and later, between 1946 and 1951, with Marc Chagall, Alexander Calder, Raoul Ubac, Alberto Giacometti, and Wassily Kandinsky, who exhibited at the Maeght Gallery for the first time.
Alexander Calder and four other artists were invited to submit proposals. Calder was approached through his dealer, Klaus Perls , on July 29, 1975, just after his 77th birthday. A sketch and a model for Mountains and Clouds were submitted by November and, in April 1976, Calder's innovative design was accepted.
