Rob Lee — Calder Mobile at Frieze

Saw this beautiful little mobile by Alexander Calder yesterday at the Frieze Masters.

Only $450,000 (+5% import tax). Shame, didn’t have my cheque book with me.


A surprise to me this mini Calder, as I am more familiar with his larger scale works.


But size isn't everything, and this exquisite miniature work is very intimate, with Calder's AC monogram on the top of the bronze triangle, and the dimple for the balance spike as if formed in soft clay.
