Experiencing Calder’s mobiles firsthand is the only way to fully comprehend their multisensory brilliance, but this footage of Black Mobile with Hole in motion is an apt substitute. Unlike a photograph, the clip reveals how the sculpture carves new forms by way of its movements.

In a 1937 essay titled Mobiles, Calder writes about the role of electric motors in his early moving sculptures. “With a mechanical drive, you can control the thing like the choreography in a ballet and superimpose various movements: a great number, even, by means of cams and other mechanical devices,” he writes. “To combine one or two simple movements with different periods, however, really gives the finest effect, because while simple, they are capable of infinite combinations.” While Calder la
