The Star 1960

"The Star" is a 1960 mobile by Alexander Calder, a renowned American sculptor. This piece, like many of his works, exemplifies Calder's signature style known as "mobiles." These kinetic sculptures are comprised of abstract forms, often in bright colors, suspended in a delicate balance, and designed to move with air currents, creating a captivating interplay of form and movement. The dynamic composition of "The Star" with its geometric shapes and contrasting colors highlights Calder's commitment to exploring the principles of balance and motion in art.
