Alexander Calder (/ˈkɔːldər/; July 22, 1898 – November 11, 1976) was an American sculptor known as the originator of the mobile, a type of kinetic sculpture
made with delicately balanced or suspended components which move in
response to motor power or air currents. Calder’s stationary sculptures
are called stabiles. He also produced numerous wire figures, notably for a miniature circus.
