Red Cascade 1954

"Red Cascade" is a 1954 mobile by Alexander Calder, one of the most recognized artists of the 20th century. Calder's mobiles are known for their dynamic, balanced compositions, and "Red Cascade" exemplifies this characteristic. The work features a delicate interplay of red and blue disks suspended from a central red rod, which itself is attached to a dynamic, curved base. The disks move and interact with one another, creating a mesmerizing visual dance that invites viewers to contemplate the interplay of balance, movement, and color.
