Maquette for Mountains and Clouds
(Sheet Metal and Wire, 1976)
This small scale model, or maquette, played a significant role in the building of Mountains and Clouds. After studying a model of the Hart atrium, Alexander Calder drew a simple sketch and created this maquette. The artist planned the sculpture specifically for placement in this space.
