What Are Hanging Mobiles?

Alexander Calder developed the concept of hanging art sculptures in the mid 1930s. His hanging mobiles are displayed in museums and galleries around the world. Marcel Duchamp, dadaist and artist, named them "mobiles" because of their moving kinetic beauty (mobile as opposed to stationary, or not moving).

Hanging art mobiles are met with fascination because the eye is automatically drawn to movement. Mobiles move gracefully in the slightest breeze and are peaceful and calming to watch.

Calder Style Modern Art Mobiles



I have created a new line of Calder style modern art mobiles! I am working with stainless steel wire and polymer shapes. The results are very pleasing. These mobiles would fit right beautifully in any Palm Springs Alexander or Wexler home, or an Eichler home, or any home or business wanting a splash of modern color and style.

When I look at a hanging mobile I get a sense of excitement. I feel alive and wonderfully calm and peaceful. The movement of a kinetic mobile is astonishingly graceful. It is truly part of the mid century modern aesthetic we all know and love. A modern home is not complete without a modern art mobile (or two or three!). It says "modern home". It says "modern style".

They are chic and hip and gaining in popularity. Modern art mobiles were invented in the 1930s by Calder, and are mid century icons, but have taken on new shapes, new forms, in the 21st century. I hope you enjoy my new line of modern mobiles:
