Flamingo

In the 50s Calder became mainly focused on producing massive monumental sculptures that revolved around the idea of large metal work.  Calder's most known and renound piece of work is probably his "Flamingo" sculpture which is located in Chicago, IL as it stands triumphantly in the middle of Federal Plaza.  The"Flamingo"like other pieces of his work is brightly colored (red), simplistic yet abstract in design, and was created to express great emotion.
