Hair Comb
1940
Alexander Calder's "Hair Comb" is a small sculptural work that exemplifies the artist's characteristic wit and his ability to transform everyday objects into fine art. Created from metal, the piece demonstrates Calder's signature approach of finding sculptural possibility in functional forms, typical of his broader practice that ranged from monumental stabiles to delicate mobiles. The work reflects Calder's playful engagement with scale and material, inviting viewers to reconsider the aesthetic potential of utilitarian design.
