Alexander Stirling Calder [1870-1945] was a sculptor, teacher and Chief of Sculpture of the Exposition. The 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition was set in San Francisco only nine years after the devastating 1906 earthquake. The Exposition was a showcase of architecture and arts and Calder was invited to exhibit some of his work. This is the first of four other books about the Exposition. Calder's contributions were the Fountain of Energy, The Star in Court of the Universe, Flower Girl in the Court of Flowers, and collaboration in the Nations of the East and the West.
