“Flamingo” is an abstract art sculpture created by the artist Alexander Calder in 1973. It features characteristics of the Abstract Art movement and also carries influences of Surrealism. The sculpture belongs to the “Flamingo” series and stands out for its striking use of form and color.
The artwork in the image is a large, vibrant red sculpture that consists of arched steel elements intersecting to form a unique, abstract shape. Set against a backdrop of skyscrapers with a repeating window pattern, the sculpture’s bold color and curvilinear form create a stark contrast with the vertical lines and neutral colors of the surrounding architecture. Its open design allows viewers to walk underneath and around the sculpture, offering different perspectives from multiple angles. The scale and placement of the piece suggest that it was designed to interact harmoniously with the public space it occupies, inviting engagement and contemplation from passersby.
