The Calder Gallery in the Fondation Beyeler in Riehen (Basel, Switzerland) is a collaboration between the Calder Foundation and Fondation Beyeler. It's a dedicated space in the museum, where selected works by Alexander Calder are shown. The first presentation (2012-13) was a tribute to Mary Calder Rower, the artist's younger daughter. Recently, the second presentation that will run until 2014 opened under the title Trees -- Naming Abstraction.

In this video, Alexander S. C. Rower (Chairman and President, Calder Foundation) and Oliver Wick (Curator at Large, Fondation Beyeler) talk about the title and the concept of the exhibition.
