Calder was constantly innovating in his practice and his mobiles took many forms. This is one of four Blériots, which are marked by a group of interconnected horizontal rods that have kinetic elements hanging from them. “Just as the most personal stories have the most universal reach,” writes Susan Braeuer Dam, “[Calder’s] mobiles instigate individual encounters that arouse a diverse range of impressions, emotions, and interpretations—not just among us, but within us.” Image: New Blériot (c. 1950). © 2022 Calder Foundation, New York / Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York #Calder #AlexanderCalder #CalderFoundation
