Horizontal, Metal sculpture in 4th arrondissement, France
The Horizontal sculpture, created by Alexander Calder, stands as a metal construction displaying geometric forms and structural elements in black metal materials.
Alexander Calder installed this permanent sculpture in 1974, marking a period when Paris actively integrated contemporary art into its urban landscape.
This sculpture represents the evolution of American artistic influence in France, combining engineering precision with abstract sculptural expression.
