Detail InformationEdit
La Grande Vitesse, a public sculpture by yank creator Alexander Calder, is found on the massive concrete plaza close hall and also the Kent County Building in urban center, Michigan, us. The sculpture was the primary public art work funded by the Art publically Places program of the National Endowment for the humanities (NEA). Unreal in Tours, France and assembled on the plaza, the steel sculpture is forty three feet tall, fifty four feet long, and thirty feet wide, and weighs forty two tons. It’s painted in Calder’s signature bright red. The title is French for “the nice swiftness”, which may even be translated as “grand rapids”.
Calder’s style for La Grande Vitesse was in keeping with different monumental sculptures he was commissioned to form throughout this era in his career. He dubbed these works “stabiles,” a counterpart to his mobiles. Whereas a mobile’s motion is generated by air currents, a stabile activates a viewer’s motion. The sculpture could be a standard haunt for residents and tourists alike, and it’s the centerpiece of the city’s annual pageant of the humanities.
