MUCH PIERCED 1947

Alexander Calder's 1947 "MUCH PIERCED" is a striking example of his iconic "stabiles" - large-scale, free-standing sculptures. Constructed from sheet metal and painted black, it is characterized by its abstract, biomorphic forms and dynamic, seemingly weightless balance. Calder, known for his mobile sculptures, designed these stabiles to be experienced from all angles, their intricate forms engaging with light and shadow to create a captivating visual experience.
