"George S. Gordon had an idea about how to take Braniff International Airways marketing campaign in an unprecedented direction. Gordon negotiated with the world-renowned artist Alexander Calder to paint an entire Douglas DC-8-62, transforming it into a flying work of art. This aircraft, named “Flying Colors of South America”, entered service in 1973, on routes between the U.S. and premier South American destinations. Gordon, confident that the aircraft would be so strongly associated with Braniff by reputation, did not place the Braniff International logotype anywhere on the plane's exterior. Calder then commemorated the United States Bicentennial in 1976 with another aircraft, this time a Boeing 727, named the “Flying Colors of the United States.”" This was posted to our Instagram account on July 22, 2022 – https://millsfield.sfomuseum.org/instagram/1880151551/

An eerie underground lair is as good an answer as anything these days, but I'd love to visit.

Garden of unearthly delights: inside the eerie underground lair for ‘master of mobiles’ Alexander Calder

The great kinetic artist has never been properly celebrated in his home town of Philadelphia – until now. But is a $90m subterranean labyrinth, created by Herzog & de Meuron, really the answer?

through the glass at 211 S Clark, the city turns into a grid: tight windows, lobby mullions, and the bright arch of Calder’s Flamingo folding into reflections. Small figures and cars cross Federal Plaza while ceiling lights float as dots in the glass.
