Last weekend, during a short trip to New York City, I visited the Whitney Museum of American Art. The highlight of my afternoon at the Whitney was seeing Calder’s Circus. When you reach the fifth floor of the museum, the elevator doors open and at the center of the dimly lit center gallery is an enormous glass case, filled with tons of trinkets and dolls around a circus ring–all created by Alexander Calder for his whimsical performance.
