About the Item

Unknown American Artisan Modern Steel Kinetic Mobile, Circa 1970s  This striking kinetic mobile, made by an unknown American artisan in the 1970s, embodies the spirit of modern abstract and figurative design. Made from natural patinated steel, this piece reflects the design influences of renowned artists like Alexander Calder and Bruno Munari. The mobile stands 40 inches high from the top of the hanging hook, with the sculpture itself measuring 30 inches high, 20 inches wide, and 14 inches deep. It is expertly constructed, showcasing a blend of artistic creativity and precision engineering. Designed to be both a striking visual piece and a functional sculpture, it is suitable for interior spaces or covered exteriors. This unsigned work is also highly practical, as it can be collapsed for transport, packing down to just 5 inches high, 26 inches wide, and 3 inches deep for easy shipping. This kinetic mobile is not only a testament to American modern art but also a versatile and calming addition to any interior, ready to be displayed and enjoyed.  Overall Measurements: Standing 40 inches high to the hook/30 inches high to the top of the sculpture x 20 inches wide x 14 inches deep Collapsed for shipping/storage 5 inches high, 26 inches wide, and 3 inches deep
