SOUTHERN CROSS 1963

"Southern Cross" (1963) is a monumental mobile sculpture by American artist Alexander Calder. The piece features a large, abstract form composed of interconnected, geometric shapes, which are painted in vibrant shades of red and black. The dynamic composition creates a sense of motion and energy, characteristic of Calder’s artistic style. As a mobile, the sculpture is designed to move freely in the wind, with the various elements shifting and interacting in a captivating dance. "Southern Cross" is a prime example of Calder's exploration of kinetic art, a style he pioneered that embraced the interplay of form and movement.
