Alexander Calder, Earrings Sculpture Mobile, Copper and silver wire (7.6 × 15.9 cm) 1938

These copper and silver earrings were created mostly by Alexander Calder for Peggy Guggenheim.

These are incredibly original and elegant mini mobiles.

Yves Tanguy also created a pair of earrings for Peggy Guggenheim.

They are displayed right below to Calder's.

At the opening of his art gallery in New York in 1942, Peggy Guggenheim carried one of each artist to show everyone his equal interest in abstract art and surrealism.
