In the beginning of Hans Richter’s 1963 film Alexander Calder: From the Circus to the Moon, the artist finds a rusty spoon on his Roxbury property. “[He] bends the spoon and slowly reveals, with effortless precision, the utensil’s transformation into an intimate, animated standing mobile,” writes Kaitlyn A. Kramer. “The petite sculpture is added to a prolific collection of other tabletop works whose mobile tops Calder activates with his breath.” Watch the full film: https://tinyurl.com/zdssd4wm
