"Stabiles" are a type of abstract sculpture created by artist Alexander Calder. These sculptures are characterized by their stable, balanced forms, often made from materials like metal and wood. Unlike Calder's mobile sculptures, which move with air currents, stabiles remain fixed in place, allowing viewers to appreciate their structure and design from various angles. Calder's stabiles often feature bold colors and geometric shapes, reflecting his interest in movement and balance. They can be found in public spaces, museums, and galleries, serving as striking focal points that invite contemplation and interaction.
