The Museum of Modern Art - MoMA, New York

Focus. The artist is best known for his mobiles - abstract sculptures made of independent parts that incorporate natural or mechanical movement. This installation, which includes early mobiles and wire sculptures, focuses on works created between the late 1920s and the late 1940s. These works demonstrate the humor, visual sophistication, and inventiveness of his approach to making art, which quietly revolutionized ideas about what modern sculpture could be.

Alexander Calder is best known for his mobiles—abstract sculptures made of independent parts that incorporate natural or mechanical movement. This installation, which includes mobiles, stabiles (stationary abstract sculptures), wire constructions, and portraits, focuses on works created between the late 1920s and the late 1940s, prior to Calder’s shift to monumental constructions and public works.

These works demonstrate the humor, visual sophistication, and inventiveness of his approach to making art, which quietly revolutionized ideas about what modern sculpture could be. This installation is part of an ongoing series highlighting noteworthy aspects of the Museum’s collection.
