Seattle Art Museum continues Alexander Calder exhibition series

The Seattle Art Museum (SAM) has announced a new exhibition, "Monochrome: Calder and Tara Donovan," as part of its ongoing Calder at SAM initiative. Opening May 13, 2026, and running through January 17, 2027, the show is co-curated by artist Tara Donovan and Catharina Manchanda, SAM's Jon and Mary Shirley Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art. It explores how both Alexander Calder and Donovan use monochrome—particularly black—to examine materials, movement, and perception. Donovan's works from five series, including installations made from tar paper and Mylar, will be displayed alongside two of Calder's matte black pieces: the mobile "Jacaranda" (1949) and the stabile "Mountains" (1976).
