MOBILE A mobile is a sculpture characterized by the ability to move when propelled by air currents, by touch, or by a small motor at any one time. A mobile achieves its artistic effect through movement. STABILE A stabile is an abstract sculpture, usually of sheet metal, resembling a mobile but having no moving parts. MAQUETTE A maquette is a small model of an intended work, such as a sculpture or piece of architecture.
