Executed in 1957, Alexander Calder's Untitled presents the viewer with a gently oscillating progression of diminishing white discs. Suspended by thin wires, the delicate discs hover, balancing, on a base that rises and falls like the silhouette of a mountain range at sunset. This graceful and curving support, with its gentle slopes and high peaks, stretches out to provide an elegant foundation for the constellation of discs that dances above it. (RT: 00:47)
