Greatness by Calder

Last year we visited the National Gallery in Washington DC. A real highlight was this sculpture by Alexander Calder. I had been thinking of wire in conversation with shaped pieces and realized my ideas were so lame that it was time to give it a rest. As this detail of his sculpture shows, Calder said it for all of us.
