About This Item
Maxwell Davidson Gallery, 2004. Paperback. Very Good. 10x8x0. Softcover. Good binding and cover. Shelf wear. Small bumps to spine. Clean, unmarked pages. <br> "Born in 1907 in South Bend, IN, George Rickey spent over five decades committed to the creation of poetic and precisely-calibrated sculptures that he referred to as his 'useless machines.' Designed to be situated in the public sphere, the works are activated by their interplay with the surrounding environment, reshaping the landscape and bringing heightened attention to aspects of light, movement, and composition. Of all the natural forces, it was the wind's movement that most captured Rickey's imagination. He once wrote, 'The artist finds waiting for him, as subject, not the trees, not the flowers, not the landscape, but the waving of branches and the trembling of stems, the piling up or scudding of clouds, the rising and setting and waxing and waning of heavenly bodies.'" - Kasmin Gallery
