Araignée Rouge (Red Spider) by Alexander Calder, 1974
Place de La Défense
Puteaux, La Défense
Paris, October 2005
“This imposing sculpture (stable in the words of its author, as opposed to mobile) in steel weighs 75 tons and is 15 meters high. It evokes a famous artwork by the same artist, Flamingo, located in Chicago. Installed in 1976, the year of the artist's death, when he himself chose its location on the Place de La Défense, it now resounds like a powerful tribute to its creator.” (Araignée Rouge, Paris La Défense)
