"The Eagle" by Alexander Calder

Carefully restored in summer 2020, "The Eagle," is once again its original and stunning Calder red, making it impossible to miss on a walk through the park. "The Eagle" displays its curving wings, assertive stance, and pointy beak in a form that is weightless, colorful, and abstract.
