Alexander Calder is an American sculptor best known for his wire sculptures and mobiles. An exhibit of his works is currently on display at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. The Calder pieces are displayed in all white rooms. The lighting casts shadows of the sculptures onto the bright white walls behind them. Those shadows made these pieces even more interesting.





On an overcast day, there was little shadow on the pieces exhibited outdoors in the museum’s sculpture garden.


The shadows are indeed cool. Interesting pieces.

We had a Calder exhibition in LA a few years ago. What a prolific artist and creative artist. There’s a joyfulness in nearly everything he made.
