The “FORK” is an artwork by Alexander Calder, dating from around 1940. It is associated with the Expressionism art movement and falls under the genre of design. The piece appears to be a representation of an oversized fork, with its distinct prongs and handle that closely resembles a typical eating utensil. The proportions are elongated, giving the fork a stylized and abstracted appearance, which is characteristic of Calder’s playful approach to form and his interest in transforming ordinary objects into works of art. The sculpture is rendered with a sense of volume and curvature, suggesting functionality while also emphasizing its artistic qualities.
