Offset lithograph poster titled 'Balloons' by Alexander Calder for All Saints' Church Centennial

This poster was created by Alexander Calder (1898–1976), one of the most influential American sculptors of the 20th century, best known for inventing the mobile. This particular lithograph was commissioned for the All Saints' Church Centennial celebration (1883–1983) in Pasadena, California. Calder's distinctive style, characterized by bold primary colors and playful, organic forms, is evident in this whimsical balloon composition. Calder's prints and posters are highly sought after by collectors of modern art and mid-century design enthusiasts. His work appeals to museums, galleries, and private collectors who appreciate his pioneering contributions to kinetic sculpture and his accessible, joyful aesthetic. This commemorative poster combines Calder's artistic legacy with local California history, making it particularly interesting to collectors of both Calder ephemera and Pasadena historical memorabilia.
