- Alexander Calder, famous for his invention of the mobile, created an important body of large-scale free-standing sculptures that did not move - these are known as "stabiles. ... This monumental, architecturally scaled stabile (fifty-six feet high) is among the last of Calder's career; it merges two important aspects of his development, the architectonic and the rounded, abstract biomorphic shapes vaguely reminiscent of natural forms.

- The Engineer Behind Calder's Art .
- Alexander Calder is renowned as the creator of two of the greatest sculptural innovations of this century: mobiles, those magical moving sculptures hanging in major art museums and modernist building lobbies across the globe, and stabiles, the large-scale abstract constructions that lighten the mood of otherwise stark public spaces in many cities. Few art lovers know, however, that prior to setting out on his highly successful artistic career, Calder received an engineering education (predominantly in mechanics) from Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, N. ...
- To the engineer's eye, Calder's mechanical background might be something less than a revelation, given the evident technical proficiency exhibited by the thousands of artworksranging from matchbox-size mobiles to seven-story-tall stabileshe produced. Notorious for his reluctance to comment on his own work, Calder has for several decades fascinated art historians and critics seeking to identify the sources of his artistic vision. These analyses have naturally focused on influential modern art movements of the 1920s and 1930s, including constructivism, surrealism, Dada, and the Bauhaus school, as Calder's main creative antecedents. ...
- The ways Calder combined his engineering skills and personal ingenuity with his knowledge of the avant-garde deserve closer consideration than they have received. Calder's achievement shows how mechanical engineering principles can have an important, if unexpected, effect on fields outside the profession, particularly on the development of a unique artistic conception. ...

- Later, while Calder was a student at Lowell High School in San Francisco, he often visited his father's studio on the grounds of the Panama-Pacific Exposition of 1915, where Calder senior was overseeing the design and production of commemorative sculpture. ...
