Take in the subtle of movement of Alexander Calder’s untitled mobile from 1953, one of the highlights of the upcoming Hong Kong Sales. Instantly recognizable around the world, Calder’s hanging sculptures represent the apex of his genius.

Composed of ten balanced sheet metal elements suspended from multiple axes, ‘Untitled’ is a rare example of a monochromatic mobile. The minimalist white palette emphasizes the negative space between each arm. With its impressive scale and shifting forms, ‘Untitled’ continuously redefines the surrounding space as it moves, casting an endless pattern of shadows in its wake.

‘Untitled’ will come to #SothebysHongKong this September, when it will headline The Modern & Contemporary Evening Auction, presented in partnership with @‌celine. Stay tuned as we reveal more highlights from the sale.
