Summary: Alexander Calder, creator of the Mobile and the Stabile, occupies a unique position as the sculptor generally considered America's greatest, and the American artist with the widest international reputation today.His fame, and his career as a sculptor, began almost fifty years ago with his miniature circus, now on extended loan to the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York. begun in the mid-twenties with just a few figures and gradually enlarged to encompass dozens of people and animals, the Circus is generally considered the germ from which grew the whole range of Calder's later production : the toys ; wire, wood , and bronze sculpture; jewelry ; drawings; gouaches; and even the great mobiles, stabiles and the recent "animobiles".
