An extension of the exhibition Calder: derechos de la danza, held at the Museo Jumex in 2015, this catalogue of the same name not only offers a vision of the American artist's wide-ranging production but also explores his participation in the Cultural Olympiad organized by Mathias Goeritz on the occasion of the 1968 Olympic Games in Mexico City. The volume includes reproductions of around one hundred works presented at the exhibition, in addition to numerous photographs and documents from the archive of the International Meeting of Sculptors which held within the framework of the Olympiad. Finally, the book details the design process, fabrication, and installation of El sol rojo, a sculpture by Alexander Calder that was part of the "Route of Friendship" and can still be seen on the esplanade of the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City.
