Alexander Calder Mobile
Ordinary.
No, that's not a critique, that's what it's called.
The namesake son of a famous sculptor who created, among other things, the Swann Fountain in Philadelphia (which you'll see here very soon! ;-) ) and the grandson of the sculptor of the William Penn statue atop Philadelphia's City Hall, Alexander Calder was famous for his steel modernist pieces and even more famous for his mobiles. This one, Ordinary, sits in the "plaza" (or what passes for one) at the Seagram Building at Park Avenue in New York City between East 52nd and East 53rd Streets. I love Calder's mobiles, and this one is the only redeeming quality in this utterly blank space.
Goin' mobile! :-D
