High Wire: Calder’s Circus at 100 | Exhibition Trailer

Feb 19, 2026

Experience one of the most cherished and storied works in the Whitney collection: Calder’s Circus. 🎪🎠 Made with everyday materials yet remarkably constructed, Alexander Calder’s cast of acrobats, animals, and circus performers represent themes of movement, suspense, and ephemerality, the fruits of which would shape his sculptural practice for decades to come. High Wire: Calder's Circus at 100 is on view only through March 9.
