| dc.description | Detail, showing the artist's initials and date; Stabiles, large-scale constructions in cut and painted metal sheets, the first of which he created in the 1930s, appeared in substantial numbers from the 1950s. During the 1960s and 1970s colossal stabiles were commissioned for public sites around the world. Calder’s arching forms, dynamic surfaces and biomorphic imagery were the appropriate complement for the geometric regularity and severity of modern architectural complexes.
