In the beginning of Hans Richter’s 1963 film Alexander Calder: From the Circus to the Moon, the artist finds a rusty spoon on his Roxbury property. “[He] bends the spoon and slowly reveals, with effortless precision, the utensil’s transformation into an intimate, animated standing mobile,” writes Kaitlyn A.

Alexander Calder: Recent Works opened at Pierre Matisse Gallery in New York City on this day in 1941. “When agitated by the slightest breath of wind, [the mobiles] take on, in effect, the static rhythms of abstract design set in motion … the so-called leaves of the mobile are colored in various hues with due regard for possible contrasts and harmonies, the effect is fascinating,” Melville Upton wrote in a review of the exhibition published in the New York Sun. “The mere passing of a person throu

National Gallery of Art on Instagram: "Alone in a tower filled with the world’s largest display of sculptures by Alexander Calder. ✨ In this room filled with moving sculptures by Calder, giant mobiles are suspended in the sky. They turn and dance as you cohabit their space. One of the most extraordinary things about these deceptively gravity-defying objects is that they are supported by a force the size of your thumbnail: a tiny hook. In the mid-1930s, in addition to developing his classic mobil
