Note:

Presenting objects floating in space is the calling card of Alexander Calder. Like his mobile sculptures, Chevrons Noir sur Rouge et Jaune, 1966 also engages the artist’s taste for the kinetic and choreography. Suspended in motion, the relation between each pebble is poetic yet simplistic with Calder using only primary colours to depict these orbs and the magnetism between them.
