As the Tate Modern gears up for its major Alexander Calder retrospective this winter, powerhouse Mayfair gallery Dominique Lévy wets our appetite with a new show featuring a single, powerful mobile. For New York travellers, this show is a careful mirror image to the current major exhibition at Dominique Lévy's New York stronghold.
Alexander Calder | Mobiles & more
Calder is best known as the inventor of the mobile, an innovative and theatrical form of moving sculpture that plays with three-dimensional space by a motor or the influence of chance air currents. A radical avant-garde sculptor, American artist Alexander Calder was greatly influenced by a visit to Piet Mondrian's studio in the 1930s when he acquired a taste for abstract shapes and kinetic movement. It was Marcel Duchamp that first dubbed his lyrical sculptural forms as 'mobiles'. 
Dominique Lévy gallery exhibition
Simple and intimate, this exhibition features a single two meters high, four meters long sculpture called Blue and Yellow Among Reds (1964) which hangs over the viewer. The careful balance of shapes and colours that fill the gallery are playful and dynamic, swinging through monochrome circles, sky blue and golden yellow like an abstract dance.
If you can't wait for the Tate Modern Alexander Calder exhibition, catch the King of the spinning mobiles at Dominique Lévy this summer!

    The first Japanese restaurant in Britain to be awarded three Michelin stars, The Araki has a simple premise: one menu, eleven courses, all sushi.
