Alexander Calder ( 1898 - 1976 ) was an American born Modernist artist. Although primarily known for both his innovative kinetic mobiles and monumental public sculptures, Calder also created important paintings, prints, theater set designs, jewelry design, tapestries, rugs, and political and commercial commissioned posters. Born into a family of artists, his work first gained attention in the 1920's in Paris, and was soon championed by The Museum of Modern Art resulting in his first retrospective exhibition in 1943. His artistic talents were world renowned by the 1960's. Calder is credited with creating some of the most important Modernist art works of The Twentieth Century.

In 1971 the " Young Artists from Around the World " exhibition showcased artworks at The Union Carbide gallery in New York City as a benefit for The International Playgroup, which operated childcare and preschool services for international families temporarily living in New York.

The curation of artworks was made by museum directors and United Nations personnel.
