Executed in 1968, Alexander Calder's Bourges [maquette] is rare example of a hanging mobile completed during the final years of the artist's life. During these years Calder concentrated on producing large outdoor sculptures, but he continued to make a select number of his signature mobiles for a group of important clients. This work is a maquette for a larger work, Bourges, which currently hangs in a distinguished private collection. (RT: 00:49)
