Calder's Universe, and Einstein's


       I'm looking forward to seeing about my fifth Alexander Calder exhibit this coming Friday.

       LACMA curator Stephanie Barron noted in the L.A. Times this week that when Albert Einstein saw Calder's work in 1943 at MOMA, he "spent 45 minutes looking" at one mobile, watching it go through its total pattern of changes.

       Finally Einstein said, "I wish I had thought of that."
