Several pieces in the exhibition were contributed by the family of former San Jose Mayor Janet Gray Hayes and her husband, Kenneth Hayes, who was Calder’s nephew.
“Baby rattle with bells,” a piece made by Alexander Calder around 1920 for his sister, is among the pieces on display in the exhibition, “Calder: at home, among friends,” which opens at the San Jose Museum of Art on Friday, Sept. 6, 2024. Alexander Calder may be best known to the general public for his dynamic, large-scale sculptures that can be found in major U.S. and European cities.
It wouldn’t be a Calder exhibition without some colorful mobiles and other delicate pieces that look like geometric abstract paintings brought to full 3-D life — and some of those are on display, too, including “Big Red,” a gift from the Hayes family in memory of Margaret “Peggy” Calder Hayes, the artist’s only sister, and given in honor of the San Jose Museum of Art’s 35th anniversary.
The route this time, “Parks to Roses,” stretches from Roosevelt Park on Santa Clara and 19th streets through downtown to the Municipal Rose Garden and Japantown. The event runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., and, as usual, there will be several points along the route where vehicles can pass through. Opera San Jose will again be setting up at the California Theatre, providing fans with a preview of selections from Mozart’s “The Magic Flute,” which the company will open Sept. 14, with young composer Alma Deutscher, who charmed Opera San Jose fans with her version of “Cinderella, conducting the orchestra.Organist Jerry Nagano will perform favorite tunes on the California Theatre’s mighty Wurlitzer organ starting at 5:30 p.m.
