Alexandre Calder, Petit Mobile sur Pied, 1953. Crowned by a series of red, blue and yellow discs circling majestically around its slender body, Petit Mobile sur Pied exemplifies the dynamic sense of movement and colour that Alexander Calder inserted into his most memorable works. The graceful cascade of multi-coloured circles is achieved by carefully counterbalancing these delicate elements with a serpentine sliver of glistening metal that acts as both a visual and structural counter-balance within the work.
