A monumental design composed of white disks of varying sizes are connected on different branches and levels to reflect a snow flurry in Calder's distinct Modernist style.

The design, called a "cascade of white discs",[1] is based on snowfall that artist Alexander Calder experienced from his home in Roxbury, Connecticut.

[4] A New Statesman review says that the title Snow Flurry makes sense, but that on first sight it "looked ... like a great cabbage white, complete with proboscis, tendrils, aerials and those paned butterfly wings in every unadorned wire".

[5] The Modernist design comprises "a series of different sized, circular white discs delicately hanging from twig like wire branches, casting shadows ... and slowly turning".

It achieved US$10,386,500, a record price for a Calder work and the most expensive hanging mobile ever sold at the time.

[21] In a review while on display at the Orange County Museum of Art, its "pure visual impact" was said to be "quite arresting".

Restoration involved consultation with the Calder Foundation, and each piece was documented and labeled before it was dismantled and removed.

A contemporary report wrote that: "After an exhilarating correspondence we are greatly indebted to Mr. Calder for lending one of his finest mobiles called Snow Flurry—it was in the exhibition—for hanging in the vestibule at the Art Gallery.

When it eventually has to be taken down and returned to America, a feeling of discontent is bound to descend also, this time on staff and visitors alike.
