Alexander Calder



Alexander Calder.. [1898-1976]
Calder can brighten any spot..
He is renowned for the invention of the mobile, whose suspended, abstract elements move and balance in changing harmony...

Love it
we were in the park in July, and will revisit in 2012.

Have 3 posts so far from the park on my blog...

About your question.. That sculpture is called, "Bend of Mind". It's by Tony Cragg, a British sculptor.
