Alexander Calder: Turkish Delight

Lenox Hill

Calder's final creative statement stands seven feet tall in a Gilded Age armory. "Turkish Delight" fuses the solidity of his stabiles with the airy grace of his mobiles: a sinuous black spine, three angular white elements, and that signature red crescent. The artist, ever the engineer, solved balance like a beautiful math problem.
