– Material: Solid wood, milled to match original dimensions
– Origin: Based on Calder’s 1944 sculptural chess set
– Function: Playable art object / collector’s edition

In 1944, visionary artist Alexander Calder created an original chess set for The Imagery of Chess, a groundbreaking exhibition at the Julien Levy Gallery in New York. Of the three sets he designed in the 1940s, this was the one Calder kept for play in his Roxbury, Connecticut home.

Each piece in this Calder Chess Set has been faithfully recreated from detailed 3D scans of the original and precisely milled from solid wood, preserving the texture, scale, and spirit of Calder’s handmade work. A facsimile of a rarefied art object, it embodies the dynamic ingenuity that defines Calder’s legacy.
