The long-awaited opening of the new site dedicated to the work of artist Alexander Calder has finally arrived. With the addition of Calder Gardens, the Benjamin Franklin Parkway will now feature works by all three generations of the illustrious Philadelphia family of sculptors. It joins grandfather Alexander Milne Calder’s sculpture of William Penn atop City Hall and father Alexander Stirling Calder’s Swann Fountain on Logan Circle, although Alexander Calder’s mobile entitled Ghost has enjoyed a place of honor in the Great Stair Hall of the Philadelphia Museum of Art for decades.
