Alexander Calder "Spider" Dad Cap

This 100% cotton twill dad cap features a detail extracted from Alexander Calder's Spiders and Snakes (1948). The spider figure on the front and the artist's signature on back are both embroidered.

Select curvilinear motifs abound in Calder’s works. These intuitively distilled patterns, rhythms, and symbols reappear across mediums, expressing endless motion. “There are environments that appear to remain fixed,” he once wrote, “whilst there are small occurrences that take place at great speed across them.” The various iterations of spirals in Calder’s two-dimensional works—projections from a plane into space—highlight his interest in the fourth dimension.
