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.

MoMA The Museum of Modern Art, New York produced the 10-minute film Alexander Calder: Sculpture and Constructions on the occasion of the artist’s 1943 retrospective at the museum. The film’s narration was written by Agnes Rindge Claflin: “Time, space, and movement are characteristic aspects of 20th century thought, and Calder’s art exploits these dominant ideas with a variety and gusto, which no other contemporary artist has given them … Calder is an American and a man of his own time.” Watch th
