The Museum of Modern Art in New York held a retrospective exhibition of his work in 1943, followed by further major retrospectives held at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum (1964) and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago (1974). Although he is primarily known for his mobiles, Calder also worked in paint, print, jewellery, fabric and rug, and miniature sculpture (such as his famous Cirque Calder). Calder's work is in many international permanent collections including the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Guggenheim Museum, the Museum of Modern Art, the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C., the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Venice, and the Centre Georges Pompidou.
