RED HORSE AND GREEN SULKY 1926

"RED HORSE AND GREEN SULKY" (1926) is a wire sculpture by American artist Alexander Calder (1898–1976). The piece is a whimsical, playful representation of a horse pulling a sulky, created with wire, wood, and metal. This work is considered an early example of Calder's signature "wire circus" sculptures, which he created during the 1920s, that capture the dynamism and movement of circus animals and performers.
