This attractive T-shirt features a colorful rendering of the Calder Mobile in the East Building of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC. The Calder Mobile makes a splash on the back of the shirt, and a detail of the Mobile accents the front.
Alexander Calder's 76-foot-long mobile, Untitled, which he made in 1976, was one of Calder's largest works, and it was also one of his last, completed only a few weeks before he died. One of the extraordinary things about this mobile is that while it weighs nearly 1,000 pounds, it moves ever so lightly, powered only by currents of air.
