In May 1967, Calder's monumental stabile Trois disques I, commissioned by the International Nickel Company, was presented at the International and Universal Exposition in Canada.

That year’s theme was “Man and His World,” and Calder recalled: “In the beginning I called it Three Disks, but when I got over to Canada, they wanted to call it Man as a sort of theme for the exhibition.”

The artist initially agreed to their request but later raised concern that the sculpture might be interpreted through its title, maintaining it did not represent anything in particular. The work is rare in Calder’s oeuvre as an unpainted stainless steel outdoor sculpture.
