Spiral with Pumpkin 1972

"Spiral with Pumpkin" is a vibrant gouache on paper artwork by Alexander Calder, created in 1972. The piece features a bold red spiral dominating the center against a bright yellow background. Calder's signature style of abstract, playful shapes and vibrant colors is present throughout the work, with additional red and blue circles and a single orange "pumpkin" shape complementing the central spiral. This dynamic composition showcases Calder's mastery of color and form, characteristic of his work in the latter half of his career.
