ACOUSTIC CEILING 1954

"ACOUSTIC CEILING" (1954) is a monumental mobile by Alexander Calder, known for his innovative use of abstract forms and movement. The work is a series of suspended, colorful, flat, organic shapes that create a dynamic interplay of light and shadow. This is a quintessential example of Calder's mobile sculpture style, which he perfected in the mid-20th century. The work was likely intended to be viewed from below, as the shapes are suspended in the air. This dynamic piece captures the movement of sound waves and the vibrancy of the space.
