The moment this joyous Alexander Calder mobile sold for millions. After a spirited bidding battle, ‘Mobile’ from 1950 achieved €3.4 million at #SothebysParis as a highlight of Surrealism and Its Legacy, presented in partnership with @celine.
Calder made this work as a celebration of his friendships Joan Miró and Jean Arp. Across its rich palette of blue, red, yellow, black, white, and orange shapes, you can see specific elements that call back to work by both Surrealists.
