"Criminel Au Milieu" Original Lithograph by Alexander Calder, c. 1966
Details: Original color lithograph by Alexander Calder, published in 1966 by Galerie Maeght, Paris, as part of ""Derrière le Miroir"" No. 156. This lithograph was created for a special issue of the influential French art review Derrière le Miroir (meaning “Behind the Mirror”), which ran from 1946 to 1982. Published by Maeght Éditeur to accompany Calder’s 1966 exhibition at the Galerie Maeght, this issue featured seven lithographs—some original, and some reproduced from his gouache paintings—offering a dynamic survey of Calder’s visual language at the time. This is a double-page spread with the original center fold as issued.
Unsigned, from an unknown limited edition. Professionally framed and presented in a black mat. Hardware attached; ready to hang.
A rare and striking example of Calder’s graphic work, capturing the bold color, playful balance, and abstract forms that define his iconic style. An authentic mid-century modern print—perfect for collectors of vintage French lithographs, Calder ephemera, or modernist art history.
