Removing sculpture from the pedestal, he invited viewers to experience his art directly, a concept that extends to his performative pieces, furniture design, jewelry, and even his paintings.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCalder Playing Cards\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e are based on a set of vivid gouache paintings from the 1970s known as the Card Player series.
