Thank you so much for this update, Shelly.  I'm very relieved to hear that this is not a model constructed by Calder.

Someone else has received an update from the Ford International Airport in Grand Rapids, and the model is being stored temporarily in the parking garage during renovations to the terminal.  It will be moved back inside once the renovations are complete.

Thank you all for your responses.
Robin

Hi All,

I forwarded this to our VP/Chief Curator and he said ...



This is commonly thought to be a Calder, but it's not.   This was a model made to experiment with the lighting on the plaza ...

It's an unfortunate location no matter what it is.



By "the plaza" he means The Calder Plaza where La Grande Vitesse is located in downtown Grand Rapids.

Hope that helps clear things up somewhat.

Shelly

Dear List Members,

I'm hoping this is a better image of the model.

Subject: [ARLIS-L] Friday not so fun...

Morning All,

One of my coworkers posted this photo of the model for Calder's La Grande Vitesse living under the stairs at the airport parking garage in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

If anyone with contacts in Grand Rapids has better ideas for the display of this lovely model, please let them know.

All the best,
Robin Rank
