CÔNE D'ÉBÈNE 1933

"CÔNE D'ÉBÈNE" (Ebony Cone) is a 1933 mobile by Alexander Calder. It exemplifies his signature style, characterized by the use of abstract, geometric shapes and a dynamic interplay of balance and movement. The mobile consists of a series of black painted forms, including a sphere, a cone, and a bird-like figure, suspended from a system of rods and wires. Calder's mobiles, like "CÔNE D'ÉBÈNE," are celebrated for their kinetic elegance and ability to transform with every gentle shift in air currents.
