Exhibitions, examining Calder and Miro’s artistic output are simultaneously on display in New York. 

Separated by the Atlantic during World War II and unable to communicate, Joan Miró and Alexander Calder tapped into a powerful artistic current, which allowed them to create unique series, that echo one another. You won’t have to cross the Atlantic, but merely several blocks between New York’s Pace Gallery and Acquavella Galleries, where the exhibitions are on display. Presenting approximately 60 sculptures, paintings and works on paper in dialog with one another, these landmark exhibitions explore the art and achievements of two artists. You can catch Calder’s exhibition at Pace Gallery until Jun 30, Miró---at Acquavella Galleries until May 26.

回顾 Calder 和 Miro 的艺术产出的展览同时在纽约展出。

在二战期间分隔大西洋两岸，并不能互相交流，Joan Miró 和 Alexander Calder 进入了一个强有力的艺术激流，这让他们能够创造互相呼应的独特作品。你无需跨越大西洋，只要穿过纽约的几条街，从 Pace 画廊到 Acquavella 画廊，展览正在这两处画廊展出。差不多有60件雕塑，画作和纸质作品互相呼应，这两个里程碑展览探索了两位艺术家的艺术和成就。你可以在 Pace 画廊参观 Calder 的展览到6月30日，在 Acquavella 画廊参观 Miro 的作品到5月26日。
