“Aspen,” created by Alexander Calder in 1948, is a classic example of his signature mobile style. Composed of a black sheet with cut-out shapes suspended by wire from a three-legged base, it features white discs hanging from the sheet's underside, evoking a sense of weightlessness and movement. Calder, known for his abstract sculptures and kinetic art, explored the interplay of light and shadow, creating an ethereal atmosphere that invites viewers to engage with the piece's dynamic composition.
