Alexander Calder Kangaroo Pull Toy Special Price: $260.00 instead of $340.00 Vilac, France New hand made Vilac toy made in the Jura region of France. Beautiful Calder toy for collectors of art or discriminating children who love art! A set of wooden toys designed by Alexander Calder in the 1920s is now back in production! These toys were originally designed for Calder’s grandchildren, who have approved the re-edition and taken a personal interest in the re-launch. Calder began making “articulated toys” in Paris in 1926 to support himself, and went into business to sell them commercially with a Serbian toy manufacturer who disappeared. Calder subsequently exhibited these toys in Paris, at the Salon des Humanistes and Galerie Jacques Seligmann. Then, in the autumn of 1927, on returning to America, he designed a series of “Action-toys” for Gould Manufacturing of Osh Kosh, Wisconsin. Vilac is perfect match with Calder. They have produced high quality, lacquered wood toys for toddlers since 1911, and since 1985 have been directed by Hervé Halgland, who is as passionate about art as play. Mr Halgland has introduced toy lines associated with artists as varied as Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, Hervé di Rosa, Matisse and Warhol, not to mention the distribution of a whole range of wooden objects by his friend Keith Haring.
