THE ARCH 1975

"THE ARCH" is a monumental steel sculpture by Alexander Calder, created in 1975. This abstract work is a testament to Calder's mastery of form and balance, capturing a sense of dynamism and lightness despite its massive scale. The sculpture's sinuous curves and sharp angles create a striking silhouette against the sky, inviting viewers to contemplate the interplay of space and form. Calder's "stabiles," like this one, are a departure from his signature mobiles, which move and interact with their surroundings. This iconic work is a celebrated example of Calder's late-career artistic innovations and stands as a powerful expression of his artistic vision.
