Berlin Neue Nationalgalerie - Calder Sculpture Plaza
A large-scale metal sculpture by Alexander Calder entitled "Tetes et Queue" ("Heads and Tails") highlights the minimalist open plaza outside Berlin's "New National Gallery," a state museum of modern art. The organic curves of the sculpture contrast beautifully with the rectilinear forms of Mies' precise, ordered structure.

By developing a sophisticated visual language that emphasized minimalist open spaces, eschewed ornament, and revealed the industrial materials used in construction, he played a pivotal role in defining modern architecture.
