While most of Calder’s outdoor sculptures are stabiles, the artist also made standing mobiles such as Five Empties, captured here in gentle motion. The siting of these sculptures requires a particular delicacy, as heavy winds can cause them damage. At over twenty-three feet high and completed just three years before the artist's death in 1976, Five Empties is an example par excellence of the monumental sculpture that dominated the artist’s late career.

Many of Calder’s earliest mobiles moved by way of cranks and small electric motors, a technique that he largely abandoned once he began making wind-driven mobiles shortly thereafter. It is a special occasion to see one of these rare works activated, and viewers are often surprised by the slowness of their motion. A complete sequence of the two moving elements in Red Panel—powered by separate motors—takes four minutes and fifteen seconds. [Video: Red Panel (c. 1934) in motion. © 2023 Calder Found

When Calder visited Mondrian’s studio in October 1930, he suggested that the older artist make the cardboard rectangles tacked to one of the walls for compositional experimentation “oscillate.” While Mondrian was dismissive of the idea, Calder began exploring it in his mobile objects, and he went on to develop a series of paintings in motion—“frames” and “panels”—that consisted of moving abstract forms set in front of colored plywood panels or within boxlike frames. One such work is Blue Panel,

In a 1937 essay titled Mobiles, Calder writes about the role of electric motors in his early moving sculptures. “With a mechanical drive, you can control the thing like the choreography in a ballet and superimpose various movements: a great number, even, by means of cams and other mechanical devices,” he writes. “To combine one or two simple movements with different periods, however, really gives the finest effect, because while simple, they are capable of infinite combinations.” While Calder la
