Red Mobile

In the middle of his life/career Calder designed a series of "mobiles."  He became most famous for these hanging wire 3D sculptures.  One of the more famous of these pieces was his "Red Mobile."  The "Red Mobile" was a smaller work compared to his larger outdoor metal sculptures.  It was composed of a thin wire connecting several red petals made from cut metals.  Due to its elegance and caused reactions it soon became known as one of Calder's signature works.
