A corner of Philadelphia's Ben Franklin Parkway lost all of its Alexander Calders this week.Read the Peter Mucha Inky story here.
For more than four years, sculptures by the inventor of the mobile adorned the grassy, tree-dotted Calder Garden bordering 22d Street - a two-acre plot once eyed for a Calder museum.
A few years ago, 11 works - 10 stationary ones called stabiles and a hybrid with a movable top - were scattered there.
As of Sunday, seven remained, including the bright-orange Jerusalem Stabile.
Yesterday morning, the last piece was carted away, and the Calder Garden was no more.
