Calder, who incorporated discarded and found materials into his work throughout his career, painted São Paulo on plywood recycled from a shipping crate. The plywood sheet was originally used as a rigid board to latch down a mobile for safe transportation to the artist’s solo show at the 1953 II Bienal, Museu de Arte Moderna, São Paulo. Upon close inspection, the holes that were drilled to tie down the mobile can be seen.
