Notable for his innovative mobiles (so termed by Marcel Duchamp to describe Calder’s early, mechanized works), Alexander Calder is a renowned sculptor whose works in kinetic art embrace the natural elements and chance.
Among his most celebrated works is the Cirque Calder, a miniature circus crafted from wire, cloth, cork, rubber, string and various other found objects.
Calder’s father was a sculptor himself, but actively wished for his son to forge a career in something other than the arts – Calder studied mechanical engineering and excelled at mathematics, but despite his father’s wishes, Calder forayed into art nevertheless and used his experience of engineering as the basis for his work. Asides from his smaller mobiles, Calder also created a number of monumental sculptures; .125 at JFK Airport, Trois Disques for Expo 67 and Spirale of UNESCO are some of the most notable of these large-scale works.

Artwork by Jesus Rafael Soto
What is kinetic art?
International movement referring to both apparent and real motion of art created in the 1920s and 1960s. It is explained as art emerging from any medium containing some movement that depends on motion for effect or can be perceived by the viewer. Canvas paintings are some of the notable and earliest examples of this art type. Speaking pertinently, kinetic art today refers to 3 dimensional figures and sculptures such as those operated by machines or those that move naturally. It encompasses a variety of styles and techniques that overlap.
