En 1931 ingresó en la asociación Abstraction-Creation, y el mismo año creó una obra a la que Marcel Duchamp bautizó como móvil. Precisamente son los móviles las creaciones que elevaron a Calder a las más altas cimas de la escultura moderna. (...) Refiriéndose a sus móviles, Calder dijo en alguna ocasión que con ellos había pretendido dar vida y movimiento a las obras de Mondrian, que tuvo ocasión de contemplar en directo y le causaron un profundo impacto.

In 1926, Calder moved to Paris. He established a studio at 22 rue Daguerre in the Montparnasse Quarter. At the suggestion of a Serbian toy merchant, he began to create toys with articulation. He never found the toy merchant again, but, at the urging of fellow sculptor Jose de Creeft, he submitted his toys to the Salon des Humoristes. Later that fall, Calder began to create his Cirque Calder, a miniature circus fashioned from wire, string, rubber, cloth, and other found objects. Designed to fit into suitcases (it eventually grew to fill five), Calder could travel with his circus and hold performances on both sides of the Atlantic. He gave elaborately improvised shows, recreating the performance of a real circus. Soon, his "Cirque Calder" (usually on view at the Whitney Museum of American Art, but currently under renovation until Oct. 2008) became popular with the Parisian avant-garde. Some months Calder would charge an entrance fee to pay his rent.
