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 mobiles, Calder began to explore the concept of creating three-dimensional paintings in motion. The movement of these sculptures results in a complex choreography of colors and forms that blur the line between circumstance and permanence.   Plan your visit to see these dancing sculptures in person 🔎 link in bio  __    📍 East Building, Tower, Gallery 606  © 2023 Calder Foundation, New York / Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York . . . . #calder #art #modern #sculpture #explore #explorepage #history #live #colors #alone #adventure #travel #secret #arte

Held in the same family collection since 1947, ‘The Ghost’ (1945) is a lively and elegant early standing mobile by Alexander Calder.⠀ ⠀ Fashioned from sheet metal, a sinuous tripod form—painted bright red, with one leg in black—rears upwards.⠀ ⠀ The work embodies dramatically different forms when viewed from different angles, as its planar silhouettes, lines and spaces shift into ever-changing new relationships.⠀ ⠀ Calder typically titled his abstract works after their creation, and the name The Ghost may have been inspired by the red tripod’s nebulous, anthropomorphic form.⠀ ⠀ Alexander Calder, ‘The Ghost’ (1945), Estimate: £800,000-£1,200,000.⠀ ⠀ 20th/21st Century: London Evening Sale: 28 February | London.⠀ ⠀ #Calder #AlexanderCalder

This February, the inaugural installation of Calder Gardens will shift for the first time. New sculptures will be installed, and others will be relocated.    Black Widow features a composition of forms in groupings that evoke a multidimensional musical score; this mobile creates phrases in its movements. Calder installed this work at the Instituto de Arquitetos do Brazil in São Paulo when he visited the country in 1948, and the installation at Calder Gardens marks its first presentation to the public in the United States and only its second outside of South America. Black Widow heads off to an exhibition in a few weeks, when a different work will be hung in its place in the Tall Gallery. Stay tuned.    Video: Black Widow (1948) with Black Widow (1959), Calder Gardens, 2025. © 2026 Calder Foundation, New York / Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York    #Calder #AlexanderCalder #CalderFoundation #CalderGardens

Bem-vindo ao Circo de Alexander Calder 🎪 Esta obra de arte adorável apresenta uma trupe circense com mais de 70 animais, palhaços e acrobatas engenhosamente articulados, além de quase 100 acessórios como redes, bandeiras, tapetes e lâmpadas. A partir de 1927, o artista coreografaria seu circo para públicos em Paris, Nova York e outros lugares. Seu público se sentava em uma cama baixa ou em caixotes, mastigando amendoins e fazendo barulho enquanto Calder coreografava, dirigia e representava seu circo, narrando as ações em inglês ou francês. #alexandercalder #calder #artesplasticas #performance #arte #cultura #whitneymuseum

Pequeño móvil inspirado en el de Alexander Calder. Para hacer esta pieza he usado distintos materiales: papeles, alambres y pequeñas láminas de metal; para que pueda tener el peso y balance adecuado 💝 “No importa el tamaño de la obra, lo que importa es el impacto que tiene en el espectador.” - #alexandercalder #calder @ngadc #movil #miniature #tinyart #archilovers #art #miniature

🚨 No es decoración. Es arte que transforma tu espacio. @volta_mobiles nace del diálogo entre arte y equilibrio, donde el movimiento no es un efecto, sino el alma de la obra. Desde su desarrollo en Barcelona por Otxo Amade, cada móvil se concibe como una presencia viva dentro del espacio. Su lenguaje bebe de la poesía visual de Alexander Calder y la libertad formal de Joan Miró, pero con una mirada contemporánea pensada para la arquitectura actual. No buscan protagonismo: generan atmósfera.�No llenan un ambiente: lo activan.�No siguen la luz: juegan con ella. El resultado es una pieza que cambia con el aire, con el día, con quien la mira.
