Toxic Art: Alexander Calder’s Mercury Fountain
The physical properties of mercury seem to turn this simple fountain into a mesmerizing crucible of liquid metal. Calder’s 1937 sculpture commemorates the siege of Almadén, Spain, known for its mercury mines, and is now part of the collection at the Fundació Joan Miró.Atlas Obscura features more photos of the fountain here.
