History

Homage to Jerusalem plaque

When Alexander Calder visited Israel in 1975 with his wife, the Mayor of Jerusalem Teddy Kollek asked him to create a sculpture for Jerusalem. The chosen site for the sculpture was the northeastern slope of Mount Herzl.[1] It was made of bolted sheet metal and painted bright red.[2]

The stabile's components were crated and sent to Israel by boat for on‐the-spot reassembly.[3]

When construction began on the Jerusalem light railway, the sculpture was relocated to a site opposite Shaare Zedek Medical Center.[4]
