The artwork, titled “FOUR PLANES ESCARPÉ,” was created by Alexander Calder in 1967. It is a sculpture belonging to the Abstract Expressionism art movement.
The artwork features bold, angular forms made of black metal. These sharp, intersecting planes are assembled to rise prominently from the ground, generating a dynamic sense of movement and balance. Set against a backdrop of serene natural beauty, the sculpture contrasts its industrial strength with the organic landscape, evoking tension and harmony simultaneously. The rivets along the edges accentuate the geometric precision and craftsmanship inherent in Calder’s work.
